A course on “diversity”. How stupid are these people going to college these days that they need this kind of course?

In the 1980s, I attended a southern university, which set up a requirement for a one-semester-hour course called ‘introduction to library science’. What they wanted was to force everyone of freshman category to attend this three-hour walk-around their university library and get properly briefed on how to search for books. Of course, you had to pay for this, and the one-semester-hour didn’t help you with your degree.

I argued with the campus representative....having attended a dozen-odd classes while stationed at a west coast location....I was not a freshman, thus should not be under this requirement. She pulled out the book, and decided that I was correct.

I imagine that they still run this gimmick today. Strictly a money-maker for them.
