Oxford and Cambridge Universities have been blasted for spending £10,000 on controversial unconscious and implicit biased training.
The elite institutions spent the eye-watering total teaching staff to understand how our biases influence the decisions we make , new figures show.
Oxford has spent £1,000 per year on implicit bias training since it was first introduced in August 2015.
But Cambridge spent a staggering £5,000 setting up its course for staff between 2016 and 2017, a Freedom of Information request revealed.
The Free Speech Union slammed the expensive ideological snake oil spoon fed by people who would have struggled to get into Cambridge themselves .
It comes after a landmark review into racial inequality urged for unconscious bias training to be scrapped for workers and replaced with more effective practices.
Oxford was a bit of a shock at first, meeting all those jolly Delilahs and willowy Ambers whoâd been sent to boarding school as children and seemed to transition seamlessly to college life, landing confident and with fully formed opinions in the junior common room. One fresher had just found out Martin Amis was her father. And they all seemed to know what sub fusc meant when it came to dressing for formal occasions.
Lots of students were braying about what theyâd done on what they called their gap year. Iâd been working in the Malibu Cafe in Derryâs Diamond, near the first World War memorial which most people ignored. Meanwhile, at Oxford, young people sat around talking late into the night about the beauty of mathematics. That wouldnât have been me now.

The Boat Race was under major pressure to introduce drug testing on Thursday after Sir Steve Redgrave spoke out over its lack of doping controls.
Redgrave, regarded by many as Britain’s greatest Olympian, told
Telegraph Sport ahead of Sunday’s contest between Oxford and Cambridge universities that all sporting events should be subject to in-competition testing.
The absence of such testing at the Boat Race has previously provoked alarm among former rowers, anti-doping crusaders and MPs, with
Telegraph Sport having been told after its last running two years ago that organisers had ignored calls to introduce such checks.
