University has quota against working-class students

England's University of Oxford is a prestigious institution that's been around since the 12th century. Its alumni range from Rupert Murdoch to Bill Clinton.

But now Oxford has announced that it can't (won't) accept any more students from working-class backgrounds. Oxford University's admissions director says the working class offers only a "finite pool" of suitable students.

Nothing like affirmative action favoring the privileged, is there? Then again, it's not like the American system (which is hamstrung by legacy admissions policies that favor the affluent) is any less elite than the British system.

If Oxford's current administration had its way, Clinton never would have even been accepted there.
