He also came into the public eye when Gordon Brown suggested a student had been discriminated against because of her state school education. This was despite the fact that she had comparable qualifications to the accepted applicants, and that the accepted applicants came from a broad range of backgrounds. Government ministers were quick to comment that Oxford remained biased in favour of public schools, but did so before they knew that no discrimination on that basis had occurred.
