Awwwww, poor little snowflakes gots too much work to do.................................

Some faculty members, meanwhile, told the interviewers that students were not prepared for their classes, and that they’d observed deterioration in the quality of students accepted to Harvey Mudd over the years. They described students as wed to their phones and not committed to the sciences.

And this is what "affirmative action" will produce. Every. Stinking. Time.

[GraceG]

Who here thought about Harcourt Mudd...

[2ndDivisionVet]

A once great small college goes to hell.

[BlueLancer]

I think they got the name of the college wrong. Instead of "Harvey Mudd", they should have named it after this guy ...

Sounds like one of the last serious centers of science and math education is being wrecked by the “diversity police.”

Diversity drones demanding that a great institution conform to their preferences and whiny “needs”.... they can’t make it under the existing standards so everything has to be weakened and modified to suit them.

It looks like the "Gibsme Dats" are at it again.

[nopardons]

Easy fix....stop tacking AFFIRMATIVE ACTION KIDS WHO CAN’T COPE and do a better job in screening and accepting ALL students, no matter what race or ethnicity they are.

[SpaceBar]

minority students issued demands...

Expel them.

[arrogantsob]

Duh, where is there a recognition that the turn to “diversity” i.e. Reverse Racism is the reason for the decline in the quality of student? Somewhere out there are a bunch of Asians dumped to allow Blacks and Hispanics to take their spots.

[DoughtyOne]

Students run the show now.

Wait until these poor dears enter the work force. Are they ever in for a big surprise.

18-25 years old, and nobody has ever said NO!

Imagine when they get a job, then start trying to tell the owner or manager how things will be run.

In my world, they’d comply with the guidelines of the university or be kicked out.

If they protested or disrupted, gone!

You’re here to learn, not instruct me or the administration and faculty.

You don’t like it here. We’ll stick with those that do.

Bye!

Harvey Mudd is probably doomed. It's the only STEM component of the otherwise purely liberal-arts Claremont Consortium, and is surrounded by avatars of political correctness and grievance nurture. Academic rigor is proving to be detrimental to the feelings of the academically feeble, and it is likely to be academic rigor that is shoved to the wayside.

This was, incidentally, where the Battle Of The Five Colleges took place during World War Z. Mindless zombies overrunning the place turned out not to be fiction after all.

Harvey Mudd College of seat covers and tattoos.

[Nifster]

Lordy these little twits are going to have a hard time getting a job after college....if they graduate

[Zionist Conspirator]

Oops. I misread the title. Thought it was about this guy.

[Mr. K]

They should expel every student that made these ‘demands’ and return their money

[Chickensoup]

Harvey Mudd was the college that Thomas Sowell held up as an example of great scholarship in engineering. I think his son went there.

I hate affirmative action.

Students pointed out a couple years ago that all lecturers in a campus speaker series were white men, Klawe said. In a required, basic course for engineering majors, women performed poorly until the college tweaked how it was taught, bringing in a hands-on component in which students built mini robots that could function underwater.

Certainly not a universal, but I seemed like the men, especially the American ones, did better in the hands on engineering classes. The foreign students and women were relatively less comfortable with the practical parts. But it has been many years since I was in school.

The same mathematics concepts were being taught, but in a way that would appeal and allow women to thrive, Klawe said.

So, what is girl math like?
