If that’s the case, why bother with getting an ‘education’ at all?
This is upsetting, to say the least :-(
Yet another uncomfortable sign of some sort of looming apocalypse.
Typical pointy-headed, addle-brained, drug-saturated, soporific libtard.
It would probably work ok in Liberal Arts courses, where they teach “gender studies”, “womyn’s studies”, “black history”, and other pretend and pretentious nonsense, but God help us if this kind of thinking ever prevails in Medical or Engineering schools.
Isn’t this a form of profiling?
Last i checked, profiling was against the Law - - - .
Yes, I look forward to driving over a bridge designed and built by someone who got a degree and job because of color, not intelligence.
you already have... trust me.
Just another reason I’like never let a Doctor or other “professional” from some “protected group” near me.
it does, trust me.
The obvious solution to this is to destroy the free market and institute government control of everything - something the Left is working on all fronts to achieve.
Suppose an employer is considering an applicant who has a diploma from this school. Is it worth the paper it is printed on? Does the race of the applicant and the GPA need to be RE-computed to READJUST for racial bias? How many turns around this liberal shibboleth do we make before all give it up as a bad joke?
THEN, consider a genuine work-a-holic minority student who has EARNED their credentials? What do they face in the light of this racial adjustment of grades? “Back to the plantation with you”, this is for the RACE not for the individual!
Maybe a little taste of what racism really is will hit a resounding note when an A grade goes to a black student who did nothing vs a white student who stayed up all night putting the finishing touches on an essay and studied on weekends for an exam.
Welcome to our world, kids.
Or having a surgical procedure done by one of these ‘graduates’
Affirmative action has already made the black unemployable, or at the very least suspect until they prove themselves in a real world environment. I know I wouldn’t hire one. After all, they didn’t earn their college scores.
I had a professor in school who only gave two grades, A’s and incompletes. He saw the whole grading system as pointless and this was his way of dealing with it. Made for a pretty good GPA but in the 30+ years since graduation nobody has been interested in my GPA.
This is funny... remember the affirmative action bake sale brouhaha?

In subjects like Gender Studies and Black History, I assume the vast (vast) majority of students get As anyway. Not so in disciplines [note the difference in terminology] like Science and Engineering. Nothing would sink one of those programs faster than if employers or Grad schools lose confidence in the quality of the graduates.
The problem is that these Libtard ideas are the intellectual equivalent of weeds. On first blush, you dismiss it out of hand as crazy or impractical. Yet, a few years later, you look around and see it being embraced everywhere.
Good! Great! Love it! Sure! Right!
In response, every company, if they don’t already,
reinstate employment applicant examinations.
With a twist, have the examinations printed in
cursive fonts!
