Some people are stupid.
Most of them are ‘journalists’............
Feel free to double check me, but I do know that it was almost universally true for virtually every American university campus that the second-lowest average GPA and SAT students went to the School of Education... which was disheartening when I was looking for schools to start my Education degree (but also encouraging, since my scores were in the top percentiles).
While I took that information for what it was, I also wanted to know which School was the lowest... and again, on almost every campus in the US, it was the School of Journalism that was at the bottom. I doubt anything has changed in the last 25 years. The Schools of Art, Liberal Arts, Performance and Dance, Physical Education, etc were always in the middle tier... and of course, Pre-Law, Pre-Med, Dentistry, Engineering, Math and Sciences, and Computer Science were always the upper echelons. They'd switch which was above another... but it was always Education and then Journalism at the bottom of the barrel.
