    It also said racially under-represented groups (not necessarily only poor ones) and women use it less.

      I would translate that as, “The people who fought harder to get into higher education value it more and actually want to learn, so they’re more likely to do their own work. The ones who are just there because it was kind of expected of them don’t care about learning and would be happy to just get handed the piece of paper.”

      The poorer people are the only ones that would literally have a disparity in access, as it can get quite expensive to use.
