Absolutely let them in, we all know once you get a college degree you instantly get a job, you really don’t have to do much after that, do a few spread sheets, have the intern get coffee for you, golfing on Thursday afternoon. Let ‘em in and after 4 years of education they have it made. LOL

Geology is “science”? Not according to Sheldon Cooper.

“”expresses a particular desire for “students from a range of backgrounds whose varied perspectives will contribute to the course””


It is truly a New World when student backgrounds change the emphasis of a college course.

Are not students sent to college to learn some facts? It appears the New World Order is to have students carry their preconceived notions into the classroom.

It is now clear that white people need their own colleges and universities.

Somehow I cannot visualize a lone line of Students of Color, immigrants and low income students waiting to sign up for a class in California Earthquake Geology.

expresses a particular desire for “students from a range of backgrounds whose varied perspectives will contribute to the course.”

How does a "range of backgrounds" contribute to the course. Did I miss something ? I didn't know there was a White geology, a Black geology, or an Hispanic geology. I guess earthquakes in Southern California decide whether or not an area is diverse enough before they hit that area.

Perhaps they would prefer racially segregated schools?

Seems to be what some on the left are proposing.

How is this any different than the existing preferential treatment offered to minorities for admission into colleges (including our military academies)?

This moron is limiting access to a single class. Colleges limit access to their entire curriculum.

Since when do professors anywhere get to pick who takes an introductory undergraduate course in any subject? Why is there a 15-student limit for this introductory course? I took introductory undergraduate courses in chemistry and economics with several hundred students and one professor teaching all of us in an auditorium-sized classroom.

The tuition at Pomona College is on a par with Harvard or Yale. I’m sure they have a lot of low-income students.

This amounts nothing more than a racist publicity stunt to get people into the class. The instructor probably cannot fill a normal class with a size of no more than 15 students, let alone of any color. This is like saying over the intercom okay blue light shoppers the blue light will be in aisle 7 for the next hour.

If my college professor of geology (Peter E Wolfe) was still alive he would be laughing over this one.

Paging Tucker Carlson. Your next victim stepping up.

They all want their 2 minute segment of fame only to be laughed at by Tucker.

I had a Geology professor at Penn sixty years who was black - Horace A. Richards, also the associate curator of Geology and Paleontology, the Academy of Natural Sciences. I still have my copy of the text he wrote for the course: "Record of the Rocks - The Geological Story of Eastern North America".....

Once a genu-wine Communist, or at least a strong apologist for that peculiar perversity, was scheduled to speak in a well publicized public lecture on campus - many showed up to hear him because back in the 50's (unlike today when they're found under every rock) an acknowledged follower of Communism was a fascinating rarity and curiosity for almost all. When he started in on a tirade about how poorly minorities were treated in the American culture, Dr. Richards strolled up on to the stage and assured the man to his face that even as a black he had done quite well educationally, professionally and economically in America - the auditorium exploded in applause and cheers - here's to you, Dr. Richards......

Yes, Minorities who can not SPEAK ENGLISH will do well, Since the end of the Second World War, English has become the established language of scholarly communication, but not without controversy. In this article we examine some of the reasons for the rise of English and its consequences in the context of national trends in English and local-language publishing.

The underlying reason for the rise of English as the language of science remains a topic of debate, but most frequently it is acknowledged as an accident of 20th century political and economic history (1). The British Empire, which spanned the globe from the late 16th to the early 20th century, was the largest empire in history and made English a truly international language. Today it is the first language of about 400 million people in 53 countries, and the second language of as many as 1.4 billion more. English was therefore well positioned to become the default language of science in the wake of the disruptive wars of the first half of the 20th century
