This is pretty much an admission that the ethnic minorities it wants to recruit for “diversity” can’t achieve academically.
This reflects the results of quite a few studies on ethnicity/nationality and I.Q. and seems to recognize the validity of those studies.
But, aside from that, how do they expect this move to be a benefit society and western culture? Turning a out lower academic quality of their graduates accomplishes what?
Disingenuous. They’re trying to get us to think that “academic potential” and intelligence + learning ability are the same thing.
Post-modern academic potential is the ability to put critical thinking in a straight-jacket, forget everything you may have learned about right and wrong, focus on perceived injustices, ignore individuals’ attributes, and place everybody you see into neat categories based on what they look like or where they came from. To be able to do that requires a LACK of intelligence, and a perverted sense of learning ability.
LMAO, why bother with SAT/ACT when colleges teach gender fluidity, women’s studies and other worthless crap? Even here in South Cackylacky they’ve got their priorities. https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=13650
“do not always…”
Meaning, most of the time they do.
California used to have the hardest Bar exam in the nation. Recently, it was cut by 33%, because the wave of incompetent affirmative action law students being led by the hand through law schools could not pass the Bar exam. Now, California has destroyed its once-great system of jurisprudence: a new generation of bozos will be CA lawyers, judges, DAs, and – worse – elected officials.
Colorado now follows suit, at an even earlier point in legal education.
A diploma from Colorado’s educational system is now as suspect as one from Oberlin’s.
Why don’t they just issue diplomas as soon as their applications are accepted and not require the they go to class at all. That would save everyone a lot of time and effort, and time crease the graduation rate to the affirmative action admissions at the same time. And since most of those people are going thorough on some special type of program instead of paying for it themselves, that money can be used for other people.
So punks who did nothing all K-12 can get into college, flunk out because they never had to study, and blame Da Man. And you wonder why we need H-1B visas for STEM degrees.
By the time you graduate high school, you’ve pretty much established your “academic potential”. 4+ more years at taxpayer expense isn’t going to help them achieve their potential.
Why do most of the students who do poorly on ACT/SAT tests fall into the disadvantaged classes? It couldn’t possibly be because they aren’t taught how to do math, speak correct English and how to write in middle and high school.
The percentage of students in my classes that cannot even string a coherent thought together is staggering.
