EU set to ban Cambridge University's 300-year-old 'name and shame' class lists

The European Union is set to defeat Cambridge’s 300-year-old “class list” tradition as incoming regulation has forced the climbdown that “snowflake” students could not. The lists – where students’ names are displayed alongside their degree grade on a board outside the university’s main building Senate House – now face abolition due to new data protection laws which will come into force next year. 
The issue has led to bitter divisions among the student body, but class lists survived votes of confidence from both students and academic staff last year. The referendums came amid pressure from campaigners who argued that class lists were “damaging” to welfare, triggered depression and “promoting a culture of shaming”.
Now the tradition is under fresh threat from new EU laws which place greater emphasis on “active consent” of subjects, rather than presumed consent.
