I think the word racism is thrown around far too often these days. Was it institutionally racist of KCL when they allowed her onto her course in the first place? Infact some would argue that it was because she was admitted on to the Extended Medical Degree Program (EMDP) because she was an ethnic minority from a poor area. Students on the EMDP get on to the course with lower grades than in the normal stream, they spend a year more studying and more money is spent per student on the EMDP than on the normal course.
