Half top universities "unlikely" to accept diploma holders.

The article reports on survey results from Professor William Richardson, Director of the Research Centre for the Learning Society at the University of Exeter, showing that only 38% of the 54 admissions tutors were "not likely" or "not at all likely" to accept applicants with diplomas instead of A-level certification in the admissions process in 2010. Results from a similar survey conducted in the year 1994 are discussed.
