"The End of Humanities Only Deepens Divides"

"Sunderland University wants to become more 'career-focused'. So it is to shut down all its language, politics and history courses and promote instead degrees that 'align with particular employment sectors'.

Kenan Malik at The Guardian warns of growing gaps in opportunity.
