What if they are the same. Is that really an issue? Poor children get a "Free Pass" or (preferential treatment) by going to school for free. Seems like the right thing to do to me because their experience should not be decided by factors they can't control (in this case the financial situation they were born in). Same with gender "Free Passes" if one accepts the premise that it is a disadvantage to be born a woman and want to make it in STEM. If one does not believe that (meaning they were not convinced by the evidence), then that's another discussion and the debate is open.
