Rejected petition Oxford and Cambridge MA degrees

More details

Oxford and Cambridge Universities have a system of awarding MA degrees, without doing any further study or research, 20 terms after matriculation, on payment of a small fee, for students who have graduated BA.

We believe this to be fraudulent, since it misrepresents the persons academic achievement, and is incompatible with the standard model throughout the modern world. We believe the government should make this practice illegal.
