“Also, keep in mind that the less qualified quota students are replacing student who are more qualified. That in itself lowers the standards.”
Amazing how that happens, and in 3-4 years, the standards are really lowered.
Something else happens that impacts the student body when diversity overwhelms academic standards. The affirmative action students tend to get tribal. When that happens the truly qualified students feel less safe. I’ve been in schools that kept their best students in one class, protected in the school environment. But getting to and from school got dangerous, sometimes imagined, but quite often very real.
