Cambridge to hide students’ results

Cambridge University in the United Kingdom is to abandon its centuries-old tradition of putting exam results on public display after students complained that it “damages” their welfare, writes Tim Shipman for The Sunday Times.

The university is preparing to end the practice of posting students’ results on boards on the wall of the Senate House in the town centre. The decision will make it impossible for outsiders to draw up academic league tables of colleges.

The decision comes after Cambridge University students’ union voted last year to oppose the publication of the lists, saying: “The current system denies students privacy and is damaging for the welfare of many.”
