I know a young woman who went through college and law school as an ethnic scholarship student. She was accepted to law school even though her score on the law board did not make the cut, nor did her GPA, even though she was an ethnic studies major, with a minor in sociology.
As a law student. They had no real classes after the first year, everything was on the job training and papers that they wrote about the training that were turned into a mentor. The woman skipped corporate law all together because she planned to work in tribal law. She told me that she could not get less than a B+ , so she kind of slacked off in her senior year and let the others compete for top slots and graduation rankings.
She now teaches at the law school. It sounds to me as though grade equity has been going on at top universities for a long time.
If these people are our future, it looks bleak.
“It sounds to me as though grade equity has been going on at top universities for a long time.”
Definitely; it is evident everywhere in the workplace. In the end, you end up with a hierarchy/pay scale topped by white and Asian men because they can actually do the work. The preferred minorities underneath clamoring for pay equality don’t comprehend the fact that they are only hired to fend off lawsuits; nothing is (or can be) expected of them.
Since they’ve tightened their belts at my job I’ve taken to working the hours of the white women in the office; not one minute more than that for which I am paid. The unpaid overtime I worked for years as a “salaried” employee are a thing of the past...
