"Aldi-level products" comments
On 18 June 2021, during the ongoing dispute with the Department of Archaeology at the University of Sheffield, it was reported that Valentine had not followed due process in explaining to students during meetings on the purpose as to why they were being recruited for discussion groups and described prospective students as "Aldi-level products". One student reported that when challenged as to the reason why the Department was not allowed to accept flexible grade boundaries from A-level students, Valentine replied, "We need to protect our brand. If you shop at Marks & Spencers, and then Marks & Spencers brings in Aldi-level products, then people won't want to shop with you anymore."[7]
