Abstract
The really serious issue raised by HE [higher education] expansion is about polarization: about the growing gap between those with access to this good, and those without. Expansion of higher education has been demonstrated as a necessary but not sufficient condition of widening participation, and hence greater ‘fairness’… However, as provision expands it increases the gap between the lifechances of those who participate and those who do not (Watson 2014: 75).
