Oxford University admitted even less black students in 2010 than in 2009 - so don't believe the hype.

Oxford University Undergraduate admissions statistics: Ethnic origin 2009 and 2010. Oxford admitted 6 more black Caribbean students compared to 2009 but 11 less black African students.

They are putting a spin on this as an improvement! You don't need an Oxbridge degree to work out that Oxford are the ones that try to create false impressions with statistics and not David Lammy as Oxford have claimed.


The Guardian said this regarding Oxford University student admissions 2010: 'Figures show that seven black Caribbean students were accepted out of 40 who applied. In autumn 2009, just one black Caribbean student was accepted out of 35.'



The reality is that  Oxford have admitted less black african students than 2009 (down from 23 In 2009 to only 12 in 2010) and 3 less black students overall-this is not an improvement by anyone's standards yet The Guardian and the rest of the media seem happy to put whatever spin on the figures that Oxford University Press Office ask them to.
