Surely the most sense would be to do whatever gets the best education for the people who have come in as students, to then create the best researchers and maximise the amount of new shit they can find out about. Screw reasoning about who paid for that student, whether it is their parents, themselves or a state or a charity, universities have a purpose and it is not necessarily best served by making a group of largely inexperienced people stressed out and depressed. Also, the people who are arrogant self-entitled little sods are not going to listen to the negative speech anyway, they will naturally assume it is directed at the other people and think that their parents connections are all the guarantee of finishing with a good grade that they need, and depending on where they are and what they are studying, they may well be right. The people who are more likely to take something like that to heart is the nervous rather than the untalented or arrogant.
