Once upon a time an education was part of the meritocracy---earned by dint of hard work and study.
Now its lib/prog leap frog----graduating marginal people who can't even read or write on the backs of conscientious students. Once intellectually rigorous colleges routinely dumb down the curricula, entrance exams, grad standards to accommodate these know-nothings.
Looks like UCLA does not even recognize the recent USSC decision negating affirmative action. How can the kids learn when UCLA officials cant read, or comprehend either?
And the end result is seen every day when Americans try to engage in business transactions (or even worse, government transactions) with these dumbed down "graduates" after they are employed. It's oftentimes difficult doing business with affirmative action products representing large corporations in the private sector, yet alone the same dumbed-down grads employed by government bureaucracy.
The book reviewed in this Daniel Greenfield article should make for interesting reading for all, particularly for UCLA alums. It demonstrates how screwed up American universities have become, which in turn in a major factor in the decadence of the entire society.
