and as far as I can say the administration should tell them to go home and freeze in the dark.
Much of it is racial stuff which is a joke anyway as far as I can see. There's already an acceptance standard based on race. Asians really get screwed on that one. Asians have to get higher test scores than white in some instances (Where's the white privilige in that?)
Much of what these people are asking for is a double grading standard which does nobody worthwhile any good.
In my world a school sets a standard of excellence and sticks with it, applying it equally to everyone.
People seem to forget that employers are not stupid. They want the best which makes sense. They are the ones writing the paychecks and theeyy want their money's worth.
When a school has a double standard for one group and not the other they will simply refuse to hire from the group that is held to the lesser standard. Can't say as I blame them.
If people get upset over the hiring policy they will simple refuse to hire any graduates from the school, as simple as that.
The person that really gets hurt the most is the person held to the lesser standard that is motivated and studies and goes to the head of the class because they will be put in the category of the lesser group anyway.
I've always said that things like set-asides and the like are truly an insult to those minorities that work their ass off because no matter what they get lumped in with the lesser crowd.
I read in a Seattle paper a while ago that the white students wanted the minorities to be able to skip finals because they were fighting for social justice.
Why not just make social justice a major?
They could take out huge college loans and get a degree in social justice. Personally I would be quite amused to meet a social justice major. They would be easy to spot.
They would be the educated looking one asking you if you want fries with your burger. What would really make me smile is to listen to them gripe about how their school loans won't be paid back until they reach social security age.
As for the educators threatening to walk out?
DO it. Go home and freeze in the dark for all I care. You'll be replaced soon enough so the kids can go back to getting a decent education for a change.
