They are going to do affirmative action on grades, just like K-12 schools are encouraged to do affirmative action on discipline. If a black kid wallops a poor white boy they better find a white kid to punish for ... something.
Now it’s grade inflation or deflation depending on skin color.
It is ridiculous.
I believe k-12 does grade affirmatively. That came about in CA when they made some colleges (possible California state colleges) agree to accept the top 10 percent (consider eligible for enrollment) of high school students based on grade. Well then, time for fairness, right? So grade under performers upward and voila! More diverse schools!
