The article stated “STEM”, which includes engineering. Hiring a purported engineer whose degree is built on student selected grades rather than demonstrated proficiency does incur liability. Claiming otherwise is ridiculous. The article does not state that the policy was retracted. I hope it was.

It also says Georgia College. Believe the click-bait article or go do some research.

“The article does not state that the policy was retracted. I hope it was.”

The poster should have done his due diligence and posted an up to date article.

If you were so concerned, you would have googled the story like I did instead of relying on an old click-bait story.

“One would think that people would have some basic knowledge of current events on here. “

At least know the subject before posting ...

One can’t help but note that serious professions, like airline pilot, don’t recruit half-asses to fly for them. That the military has lowered standards for its officers is shameful and dangerous.
