Last week in The THES: Gill Jackson argued that Cambridge's equality audit had valuable lessons for other universities.

Reading Gill Jackson's article as a first-year historian, there seems to be a distinct failure to mention students - who are supposedly the key component of the university.

It would appear that there are two levels of life at Cambridge University - that of the students and that of the self-important committee members, who pass things from committee to committee.

Maybe it would be a good idea to turn the situation round and put us, the students, in control. After all, we are the ones paying the high tuition fees and rents, as opposed to being paid tremendously high salaries.
