Paragraph 1
A university in England has said
will not lose
for spelling, punctuation and grammar mistakes. Hull University said that requiring English with no
is "elitist". It said such a
could be seen as "homogenous, North European, white, male, and
". Officials at the university said insisting on a high proficiency in written English discriminated against
minorities and students who went to schools where average grades were
. The university said it wants to make writing and tests "more
". It wants teachers to be more
when they mark and grade students' writing. It hopes to reduce the
of poorer students who drop out from university.
