That's obviously not what I meant. The idea is to ensure that in the future the best qualified are a diverse pool of individuals. Bare in mind that positive discrimination works in favour of all types of groups here in the UK such as young people with disabilities, those with parents who earn under 25K, females (some courses that have a large male majority offer cash intensives to female), people who are in the care system and also race. The system wasn't always like this so that obviously implies that without positive discrimination a disproportionally low number of these applicants would ever get the chance to get qualified and apply for high paying professional roles in the first place.

while it is true that its unfair to positively discriminate the number or black students and especially professors is really low here in the UK. I think its something like 1 professor for every 2 uni,s. Keep in mid that each uni has like 150+ professors. Positive discrimination might not be the best or most fair answer but its helping to keep numbers fairly constant in England at least
