Student union rejects academic's IQ claims

Student union rejects academic's IQ claims (click for article)

Cause or effect? Surely in a meritocracy this is what would be expected. IQ being a largely hereditary phenomenon, over the course of generations those with higher IQ will tend to exhibit higher levels of socio-economic success and those with lower IQ to tend towards lower levels of socio-economic achievement. A rather Darwinian process of natural selection!
Any moving of the goalposts to accomodate lack of potential simply removes the whole concept of merit. I look forward to the Student's Union publishing their full findings on the basis of which they refute the claims of Bruce Charlton.
