Oxford University decides that female students need more time to pass exams.

Quote:

Oxford University exam times were increased in a bid to improve the low scores of women, it has emerged.

Students taking maths and computer science examinations in the summer of 2017 were given an extra 15 minutes to complete their papers, after dons ruled that "female candidates might be more likely to be adversely affected by time pressure". There was no change to the length or difficulty of the questions.

One would have thought that a prestigious university like Oxford would have done research before insulting women with their condescending "can't compete with men" policy change.

But no, political correctness supersedes evidence base policies:
Quote:

However, despite the intention being to lessen gender discrepancies, the main effect of the time increase appears to have been an increase in the number of 2:1s overall, with 2:2 figures falling. Men continued to be awarded more first class degrees than women in the two subjects.
