Pay the tuition, get the grade.
>>Meanwhile, 82.21 percent of African American studies students earned an A or A-
When the only requirement is to make a black power fist and scream “Kill Whitey!”, it’s difficult NOT to get an A.
Never hire these losers.
Yale, where an A is just a participation trophy.
Participation trophies
Old saying: It’s tough to get into an Ivy League school, but easy to get out.
Side story: I was a chemistry major. Nothing easy about that. On some exams, 1/4 of the class failed. And yes Organic Chemistry, I’m talking about you.
Ah, but I had to take this one liberal arts course. It was a large class, say 200 students. On the first exam, half the class got an A (including me). All the rest got B’s. Except there was one C. Nothing lower.
I got the message. Do not study for this class. Wing it, and you’ll do just fine. Instead spend that time trying to figure out the steps in synthesizing cyclobutane.
I’ve read this article in many places, and I think it misses the point.
The H-Y-P faculty and administration has been cleaned out and is now dedicated to a SINGLE PURPOSE.
Getting the letter of acceptance means a student has ALREADY BEEN VETTED for the ruling class, and, as such, MUST be SMART and DESERVING of straight As.
Like, what’s the point of the work? It’s a waste of time, a distraction from revolutionary praxis, and why shouldn’t our future rulers get constant dopamine hits from praise from their elders?
It’s not a school, it’s a cult. Once you’re in, you’re in for good.
Yeah, that’s “grade inflation,” just about renders grades meaningless. So if you can inveigle yourself into the school to begin with, you have smooth sailing, just have fun and stroke the politically useful profs once in awhile. Don’t actually have to learn anything. You’ll get your “Ivy League education” right on time, no sweat, Got it made.
Poison Ivy League
This is nothing new. For years many Ivy League Law Schools and Medical Schools would not accept their own graduates because the KNEW all about grade inflation.
does it really matter what grade someone deserved in gender studies?
I had some professors, male and female, that I was able to finagle an ‘A’ in their classes just by taking the ‘liberal’ viewpoint on everything. It was too easy..........
Exactly, and my kid will lose out to a Yale applicant cause he got a legitimate 4.0 from a D1 state university, not Ivy league!
Like someone earlier said, pay the price, get the grade-BS!!!
Do away with all the requirements and receive your diploma in attendance.
I bet for women and minorities, that number approaches 100%
Everyone is special.
“You can always tell a Yale man but you can’t tell him much”
Pay the tuition, get the grade.

Of course. The whole point of getting a Yale degree is to impress people and join the old boy network. You want to be able to say you got a high GPA when you are down at the Marina. You’ll probably even say you graduated top of your class, just like 8 out of 10 people who were in your class would say too, because you all tied.
Now that’s one very expensive participation trophy
Participation trophy is EXACTLY what it is.
