The University of California System Will No Longer Consider SAT and ACT Scores for Admissions

Next there won’t be an application mail in process, College will have same day registration with no ID.Students will pay per class attended.

Just more....get Whitey.

Back to the good old days of college admissions - its who you know, how much money your family will donate, and having a beer or two with the admissions officer.

“The UC System’s degrees will soon be worthless.”

Yes, this marks the death of a once great university system.

[Jamestown1630]

Why would any reasonable person favor either?

[Jamestown1630]

But having education dumbed-down in the interest of ‘equity of outcome’ is fatal to society at large.

[9YearLurker]

I’m not sure reasonable goes with indoctrinated.

[Jamestown1630]

Some students ignore and survive ‘indoctrination’.

But if education itself is dumbed-down, we all suffer.

[9YearLurker]

Very few in heavily AA districts. It is human nature to go for an ethical system that says you personally are due lots of stuff and power over everyone else.

[Jamestown1630]

I don’t think it’s ‘human nature’.

Human nature interfered with by socialization has a lot to do with it, and many overcome it, no matter what kind of ‘district’ they live in.

Have a discussion with Ben Carson or Justice Thomas - or Walter Williams (R.I.P.) or Thomas Sowell about this.

(I could give a much longer list...)

[9YearLurker]

Spare me. Those fine gentlemen weren’t nearly as indoctrinated as our current generation of college students. If you aren’t dealing with our current students you probably have no idea.

[OldGoatCPO]

Absolutely. When my nephew had to make a decision on going to college or going to trade school, the High School counselors pushed college, but his parents had a frank discussion with him on his ability to make it through four years of college. After discussing it with his parents he went to trade school to become an HVAC technician. He now makes enough to have purchased a small house and start a family. Had he gone to college he would graduated in 2020. He worked through the COVID mess

A lot of those young people that dropped out my daughters first year never went back to school and she knows one young lady who was working retail until COVID. She was barely making it before COVID and has no desire to go back to work, guess why? She has become a free-rider on society.

[Jamestown1630]

Your nephew made a very smart decision.

There are lots of young people coming out of Universities now with degrees that are useless to them economically, and useless to the real needs of our society. Your nephew is always going to have a job.

[Jamestown1630]

So, you believe that every young Black person suffering from recent involvement in today’s higher educational system is ‘indoctrinated’?

Have you seen how many of them are thinking for themselves and sticking their necks out to counter this crap?

[9YearLurker]

Of course not. I didn’t suggest they are. But many are and they virtually all have a more consistent, higher level of indoctrination than those in generations before them.

Again, you apparently aren’t working with such populations and have no idea. I don’t appreciate your trying to imply that I am offering a racist perspective or am absolutist in any claims of how every student thinks. I simply suggested that it is human nature to accept massive indoctrination that appears to be strongly biased in one’s interest.

[Jamestown1630]

I didn’t suggest that you are offering a ‘racist’ perspective. I simply suggested that you may be unfamiliar with many of the very young and very patriotic Black people that we have today.

[9YearLurker]

I work with African-American college students from inner-city environments daily.
