We have understood this risk for over 4 decades, but it’s too much for some to admit. That one or a few might succeed should not cause us to destroy the hopes and dreams of many others lifted above their capability.
“the salaries of college “diversity officers” alone can be several times the starting salaries of professors”
I’d like to get one of those gigs. Probably not as remunerative ($300,000) as Moochelle Obama’s no-show job at the University of Chicago Hospitals, but I probably wouldn’t have to break much of a sweat making demands that more PHDs be handed out to minority students in physics.

Their achievements become suspect because it is assumed they benefited from Affirmative Action.
Add to that the costs of hiring unqualified people to VP and Manager levels in business world.
A lot of these token hires can’t even carry on basic conversations, much less do their jobs.
from my management time in Sacramento.
Every black was insisting on being called African american. State changed the labels. So the white guy across the hall claimed African american. he was born of Italian parents in Africa. They were Italians working in Kenya or one oath eastern countries. In meeting eh explained, I’m the only real african american in here and heads exploded.
Management meeting to discuss sighing mexican women who were unqualified. Just change the standards you see. I pointe out since the asian population state wide was 3.5% and we had 9.7% asian in Hdq, we had to hire fewer asians and more whites. Heads exposed. When you point out the implications of AA that other people get held back, there is no justification. We had AA since 1967and now is the time for just equality straight up
Affirmative Action is a disaster to both students and budgets.
The impact on me is that every black and Hispanic with any university degree is inferior
The root cause of it is that blacks are incompatible to western civilization. When they can’t be extracted, the civilization has to be compromised. The outcome is affirmative action
b, bu, but, fairness; you racist !
Hoe about that affirmative action air traffic controller?
What’s the potential “cost” of that?
