We already are probably 90% to the point where due to grade inflation GPA is meaningless but U-W wants to go 100%. I guess that means if you are an Asian you will have to work ten times harder than an "underrepresented racial-ethnic group" to get a 4.0.

“...distribution of grades.”

That says it all.

The University of Wisconsin must believe blacks are inferior. They don’t believe blacks can compete against whites and Asians.

Giving blacks (or any race) more than they deserve is sort of like a welfare education.

I know a Wisconsin alum to went on to take some classes at our local community college.

He said community had better instructors, and he actually learned more.

We are reverting to the philosophy of the John Lennon song about imagining a world where everyone lives in perfect harmony with nature and each other “No war, no government, and no religion too”.

I have the fortune/misfortune of dealing with these young people. There are a number of things that concern me. For instance

Do you know college graduates can not read a clock with hands on it? Do you know that most of their hand writing is completely illegible? They don't know how to spell. They can not or will not make use of paragraphs. There seems to be little if any capitalization. They can't carry on a conversation in a traditional business and adult type environment. They use vulgarity liberally and inappropriately. They don't have a clue as to what business casual attire is.

I sit in the lobby of a major corporation. I sign these young people in for interviews and these are my observations. Of course their are exceptions to the rules. It does seem that these kids are very coarse. Also very immature. They come to job interviews in clothes I might have worn for Halloween back in the day! I am scared!

” including high status special programs,”

So, UW-M will have 90% white football and basketball teams?

UW-Madison, my good ol’ alma mater, has a gorgeous campus right on a magnificent lake, and several good/excellent academic departments; however, it has, for many decades now, been a home-away-from-home to endless elements of the Lunatic Fringe of the Far Left - in administration, professoriate, and student body, all.

and in the distribution of grades.”

The mask has come off. Academe is no longer meritocratic. Next you'll have to belong to the " Party" to get in.
