Oh dear, that won't do at all

From the _Daily Telegraph_ web site:

*Oxford University's Classics degree to be overhauled in bid to boost
number of female students getting Firsts*

One of Oxford University's oldest degrees is to be overhauled in bid to
boost number of female students getting top grades.

Classics dons who marked last year's exam papers said the gender gap is
“very troubling”, adding that it must be addressed as a matter of "urgency".

More than double the number of men were awarded first class honours in
their Finals last year than women, with 46.8 per cent of men achieving the
top grade compared to 12.5 per cent of their female peers.

Academics noted that the gender gap in Finals - which was “already very
noticeable” - had “dramatically increased” in the most recent cohort of
students due to an a record number of men taking Firsts.
