Madeleine Howe said

• The discussion tended to focus on the changes resulting from increasinlgy demand-led HE. Students particularly valued diversity of opportuntities (eg WBL makes them more employable).
• Talked a lot about the supply of graduates and questioned whether the increasing diversity of students would add to the cultural capital or would more divers students mean that some would have more difficulty building their cultural capital
• Few HEIs had policies on how to support staff on how to support/respond/enable students not from the majority group of students.
