I find the list at the bottom of the article interesting.

I wonder how far down that list of "World's top universities" you'd have to go to find one from Canada.

19th, then 34th and 38th.

Diversity is more important than an education. Noted.

It's hard to know what to make of these tables. Japan and Germany seem to survive quite well without starring in them.

Pretty sure the value of a university education is no longer what it was when churning out SJW's became more important than an education to produce new engineers, doctors, and scientists. That it's happening now in Britain is pretty damn sad, especially in light of how the previous two and a half centuries of British upper education turned out individuals who changed the world forever in medicine and the sciences. Not important anymore apparently, if getting a degree in microaggressions, triggerings, and safe-spaces in now some kind of a "real" thing.
