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 - - - .
Just another reason I’like never let a Doctor or other “professional” from some “protected group” near 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.
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?

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!
They have already been doing that since the 1970s.
Ever wonder why we have never seen Obama’s college grades? Probably because most of them are ‘AA’.
Let’s call this economics professor what he really is - LAZY!
Think about it.
After the class shows up on the first day he can sit down and score every pop quiz, test, and final grade based on the racial quota grading scale. In fact, he could probably do away with quizzes and testing in any form since those results would be immaterial to the final grade.
Carried to its logical extreme - why have colleges at all?
Just issue everyone their PhD immediately after they receive their “I attended school” for 12 years certificate.
BTW - my end all argument against things like this is - would you want your child/grandchild operated on by a surgeon who got his grades, and medical degrees, based on racial/sexual quotas?
As the parent of a high school student, I become ever more convinced that with the exception of a few scientific or technical fields, a 4-year college education just makes one stupider.
I don’t buy for a minute the idea that suffering an intensive course of idiotic left-wing indoctrination while going tens of thousands of dollars into debt increases one’s earning capacity.
Maybe a 4-year college degree once had value, but I believe those days are past. I have two 4-year college degrees that I got in the 1970s, and I honestly can’t say that they have contributed to the value proposition that I have brought to the business of making a living over the past 35 years.
I’m not saying that education is unimportant. I’m saying that for the most part, the 4-year college experience no longer delivers an education.
