Back in the day, I had a few classes where the teacher allowed us to grade ourselves. Mostly electives. I got all As. I was more satisfied with the Bs I had to work for.
“Equity” means stealing from productive whitey and giving to lazy blackey.
Back in my college days half a century ago, admission was heavily based on college entrance exams like SAT or ACT and grades in high school classes like science and math. There were few government loans and one had to work to pay tuition or have parents willing to pay the bill. A college degree actually meant something.
Now government backed college loans are easy to get and admission to many schools is all but guaranteed. Students are frequently poorly prepared for higher education and can pursue worthless degrees in peace studies or similar junk programs with little concern over grades or flunking out. Even the burden of paying back these loans is now being eased if not eliminated by the government. In the US college students seem to have ample time to protest, engage in ridiculous pursuits and not have any concern about scholarship
