>>Meanwhile, 82.21 percent of African American studies students earned an A or A-

When the only requirement is to make a black power fist and scream “Kill Whitey!”, it’s difficult NOT to get an A.

Yale, where an A is just a participation trophy.

Old saying: It’s tough to get into an Ivy League school, but easy to get out.

Side story: I was a chemistry major. Nothing easy about that. On some exams, 1/4 of the class failed. And yes Organic Chemistry, I’m talking about you.

Ah, but I had to take this one liberal arts course. It was a large class, say 200 students. On the first exam, half the class got an A (including me). All the rest got B’s. Except there was one C. Nothing lower.

I got the message. Do not study for this class. Wing it, and you’ll do just fine. Instead spend that time trying to figure out the steps in synthesizing cyclobutane.

I’ve read this article in many places, and I think it misses the point.

The H-Y-P faculty and administration has been cleaned out and is now dedicated to a SINGLE PURPOSE.

Getting the letter of acceptance means a student has ALREADY BEEN VETTED for the ruling class, and, as such, MUST be SMART and DESERVING of straight As.

Like, what’s the point of the work? It’s a waste of time, a distraction from revolutionary praxis, and why shouldn’t our future rulers get constant dopamine hits from praise from their elders?

It’s not a school, it’s a cult. Once you’re in, you’re in for good.

This is nothing new. For years many Ivy League Law Schools and Medical Schools would not accept their own graduates because the KNEW all about grade inflation.

does it really matter what grade someone deserved in gender studies?

Do away with all the requirements and receive your diploma in attendance.

reason why we have so many Ivy league idiots running around...especially the lawyers....

some people just get passed along, no accountability....no reasoning skills...no appreciation of history or tradition or values or ethics...
