I enjoyed it very much until one day when I went along to a very senior member's leaving ceremony. I was accompanied by a another junior colleague.

In 1988 St George's medical school was found to be operating a computerised admissions system that identified candidates with characteristics "like" those of high-achieving third-to-fifth year medical students. The CRE decided that the system was a discriminatory enactment of the prejudices forming student achievement.<BR/><BR/>Commission for Racial Equality.
