Preserve of the rich?

I was concerned to read that graduate employers are suggesting an end to the fee cap on university tuition fees. This seems to miss the point of what is important for today’s graduates and their future employers.Removing the fee cap could mean that only those rich enough to afford the fees would go to university, thus decreasing the diversity of our graduate population and closing the door on higher education for some very capable people. Even though financial safeguards would protect those from the most disadvantaged backgrounds, what about those from middle income families?
