“He was one of the top damages experts in the country who was historically bringing in well over $1 million dollars a year and trending upwards when it happened”

It’s a pretty messed up legal system if someone can make over a million per year as an expert witness.

One hopes that the legal system sticks it to the college administration and the specific administrators good and hard. I though Klein’s response was perfectly on target.

I have known a handful of really good black professionals who were worth their pay. These include the black ER doctor whose quick actions probably saved my life. Those people are damaged by the fact there are so many more blacks who have none of the academic skills their credentials say they have.

Yes, there are darned few good black engineers or programmers. Not everyone is mentally configured to be good at all things. That doesn’t mean there is any racism involved. Notice there are darned few five-foot-tall basketball players or 125-pound linebackers. Not everyone can be whatever they want to be. (I always wanted to be a porn star, but I couldn’t make the minimum length requirement.)

He refused to discriminate "in the right way" and that somehow is discrimination.

Imagine if he’d given the children of cops lenient grading after the railroading trial?

Major cases often come down to a battle of experts.

If I was black, I’d sue them for presuming I was so mentally deficient that I needed a special grading system to cover it up

I have a professor friend who teaches chemistry at a university. He is upset that the grading software that he is required to use will not let him give a failing grade.

Sure, grade Accounting “leniently”. It’s not as if it’s complicated, and demands knowledge and accuracy...

That response is so good. He'll be labeled a racist for the remainder of his life for not kissing the boots of the hustlers

Next to Harvard UCLA are pikers when it comes to grade inflation. The average cumulative grade score at Harvard was 2.5 in 1960 Today,it is 3.7 with an A representing 79% of all grades issued in the undergraduate schools. Without indiscriminate grade inflation, their affirmative action admissions would be out of there in a few semesters of being admitted. With this grade inflation tool in place, the only thing harder to do than getting admitted to Harvard is flunking out of Harvard.
