Edinburgh University has acknowledged class-related prejudice among students, prompting guidance aimed at creating a more inclusive environment and countering socio-economic microaggressions.
An unnamed widening access student shared their experience, stating 'you can't be working class because you're at university', highlighting a prevailing stereotype among privileged peers.
The new guidance encourages wealthier students to reflect on their language and behavior, acknowledging that comments regarding clothing and accents contribute to societal divides.
The university's initiative aims to reduce microaggressions by addressing the criticisms faced by students from widening participation backgrounds, promoting empathy and inclusivity.
