“nearly 8,300 students admitted in the fall semesters 2017-2019 did not meet its academic criteria”
They also gave away millions in bad scholarships. Not good.
15 Comments on Audit Finds Public University Admitted Thousands of Unqualified Students

Oh, darn. I’m shocked.
Historically black institution gets funded with taxpayer dollars and then promptly blows it down the shithole in all kinds of illegitimate, and probably illegal, ways.
Every southern state has a “southern university”.
It is an affirmative action thing from way back.
So they’re telling me that Public Universities are still a huge money laundering scheme?
This is not confined to black colleges. Many state colleges have admitted a great many students who are academically unqualified and require a lot of pre-college development before they can hope to make it.
To quote a famous Congressperson: “It’s all about the Bemjamins”, and virtue signaling.
…but private individuals gaming the system and paying large bills to get their kids into colleges are sent to prison. Does not compute.
After WWII Colleges and Universities became con-jobs to separate the taxpayers from their money. The GI Bill opened the floodgates. Pell Grants and all the other methods of graft followed – and the Colleges and Universities “dumbed down” their curricula to meet the need. By the 70s Academia was making room for thousands upon thousands of the semi-literate with bushels full of taxpayer dollars.
Now, they don’t even attempt to maintain the pretense of “education” and are exposed as wholly-owned subsidiaries of nihilism.
They take the money greedily, without demure, and laugh (out loud) at their graduates who have little chance of success based on their useless “degrees.”
Some will pretend to be shocked.
Politicians will assume poses of high dudgeon, but nothing of substance will be done.

…pretty much what I was saying yesterday. My son faces institutionalized, Governent-sponsored discrimination in everything, especially college admissions, because he is White.
Meanwhile, thousands of unqualified Black kids get free passes in their own racially segregated universities that they oppress the few White kids they DO let in at, because, Black.
And that’s somehow not racist.
…and I wonder if all those African American studies classes about how awful America is have any bearing on the way Black people are tearing cities up over one bad cop who murdered a felon partner of his, as well as the sense of Black entitlement and Black supremacy that is the modern norm…

…I could go on, but I won’t. See if you notice any recurring themes in these curricula vitae, any specific words that keep popping up, and ask yourself if these things lead to the advancement or division of mankind, and just how “diverse” the diversity actually IS…
Did I read that right? TSU’s Admission criteria is a combined SAT score of 900 (that’s the NEW “improved” SAT, not the real SAT of old), and a MINIMUM GPA of 2.5? And the 8,000 couldn’t even meet that? What a joke. Congratulations, A TSU degree is Now worthless.
Its a business:
Take in as many customers as you can,
(first year is the most profitable)
Boost the numbers,
Apply for government grants,
Build another building,
Students drop like flies after year 1,
Sucker them again into a “more suitable” program,
Graduate them with a degree in S.J.W. studies.
Wash, Rinse, Repeat!
You all are missing the purpose of a university education nowadays.
No longer is the goal to produce thoughtful productive educated young people.
The goal is indoctrination.
The goal is to produce agitated angry activists who will contribute to overthrowing the Constitutional government.
You don’t need high SAT scores or even reading skills for that.
What do you expect for a negro college steps away from the University of Houston? This school has been a joke for a hundred years
A black ‘university of learning’ is like military ‘intelligence’ or the Federal Bureau of ‘investigation’, etc!
AND IT SHOWS!
Back in 1970 or so, a friend of mine’s SAT was 1280 (if I remember correctly) and at his college admissions interview the guy asked about his SAT score – which my friend proudly proclaimed 1280, and the interviewer asked: “When are you going to take it again?”
He bout shit himself.
The times, they are a’changin …
