The scandal of two-tier degrees

As the academic year draws to a close, students up and down the country will be receiving their degrees. So, consider two different cases:

Student A arrived at their university with a diagnosis of ADHD, anxiety, and autism. As a result, he had a long-standing arrangement that all deadlines could be automatically deferred without supporting evidence. All exams came with 20% extra time. He could retake these exams without any marks being capped — and rewrite his coursework too. Despite all this, Student A didn't manage to complete requirements by the end of second year. He was therefore allowed to finish off his outstanding pieces of work while living at home with mum and dad over the summer. When he returned in third year, he still struggled to make deadlines. After delaying final submission of work via an extension period in late August, he eventually had enough credits to pass the year — and was awarded a 2:1 classification.
