Pandora's Box (1)

The Guardian's comment page today considers the future of British universities, complaining that "Every expansion since the redbricks were built has been branded an expansion too far by an elite convinced that only they are [sic] fit to benefit from university. If they [sic] had prevailed,* many of today's lawyers and accountants would instead be consigned to dead-end jobs".

That seems to express precisely why the universities should have been left alone.

The internet version substitutes "had had their way" for "prevailed".
