From the University of Oxford Wikipedia page: "Admission to the University of Oxford is entirely on academic merit and potential."
Why is it necessary at all for the article to say this?! The issue is a 'hot topic' every summer in the UK media when Oxford admissions selection takes place. As a result, there have been edit wars over this artice, and the Article Discussion includes gems such as:
"Sorry, folks, but if you genuinely believe that admission to Oxford is based exclusively on academic merit, then heaven help you.
This is a prime example of the motion of the topic of this thread. Clearly (in my personal opinion) (some of) those editing the article, and those commenting upon it, are biased and ill-informed non-experts.
