From "The Week":
University tutors are being told not to mark down work for spelling
mistakes because insisting on correct English could be seen as
“homogenous north European, white, male, elite”. The Times says several
institutions are adopting “inclusive assessments” and Hull University
says it will “challenge the status quo” by dropping the requirement for
a high level of written and spoken English.
If they can't write a decent CV they won't even get a job interview to
show how smart they might be, (by decent I mean not full of
grammatical or spelling errors).

At interview they will also be judged on their ability to communicate
effectively, which means a decent standard of spoken english (or other
language relevant to the county they are in).
