This announcement follows a series of financial companies dropping academic requirements for applicants.

My sister is an editor for one of Pearson's other companies, and they announced layoffs of 10% (4000 souls) this year, Pearson-wide. Not sure how this ties in, unless the goal is to replace higher-paid graduates with lower-paid non-degree holders.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
