I’ve never understood how legislatures or government organizations can “rescind” laws established by voter propositions. How come propositions are not considered “settled law?”

Just give them the degree without actually attending. Just deem them graduated. Then just deem them a job too. Then a house. Then food. ......hell just cut to the quick, deem them retired and give them 100k per year retirement with full benefits. .... It’s the white thing to do. It’s a good thing

It doesn't matter WHO attends. The drop out rate is two out of three now. That is 66.6% and all those students tested for placement in math and English.
If unqualified students attend they will pay the tuition, buy the book$, then raise the failure rate to 50%.

If the failures are put into race/ethnicity there will be many FROWNS on the college boards and there will be many more calls of racism.

But those with brains KNOW that not everyone should be in college. It requires knowing how to read and write, especially with words longer than one syllable.

There are people smart enough for college who would be DELIGHTED to be a chef, police officer, postal worker, tinker, tailor, soldier, spy...oops, I'm running afield now.

Students from all over the world get their country to PAY the out-of-country fees. They want the B.S./B.A. degree from the USA. It means a great deal.

I wanted to be in the FBI when I was young. :o)

They just want to make it easier, t do what they have been doing all along.

It’s not like Blacks need to have as good grades or test scores today, to get admitted ahead of Asians.

No...institutional racism is preventing them from getting a fair chance you see? Bexcause they didn’t include the name Jaquon and Tamaralyn in enough readong passages in high school standardized tests you see?

Yes, I was wondering that too. Who knew a Board of Regents was THAT powerful?

Despite what they may say in public, the faculty who teach at those colleges are NOT happy.

You think?! Having to deal with ill-prepared students for college has to be frustrating, even for those who are SJW advocates and supporters. Even some of those who entered the UC system with good grades were not prepared.

Our kid went to an UC almost a decade ago. During the first course taken that required a research paper, the guidelines were (a) pick a side on the topic, (b) search the information, (c) write a paper supporting your position, and (d) don't plagiarize.

The first words out of some of these student's mouths were "What do I need to do to get an "A" on this paper?". So many of the students a decade ago were grade driven and not taught how to apply information to a subject.

I have to think this is only going to get worse with their latest decision, if it hasn't already in the past 5+ years.

Nope. Because of racism, some are at a disadvantage. Or so goes the narrative.

The long-term impact of this is masses of semi-literates waving worthless degrees demanding equal pay to real students who earned them (actually learned).

We are propagating a two-tiered system in which a high school diploma in the hands of a white or Asian person is the equivalent of a Masters Degree in the hands of certain others.

It actually will hurt the Asians most. They have a ton more qualified students that will now be turned away. You’d think this would get them to vote for trump, but no. They won’t.

I thought the courts said this is illegal. Does anybody know?

"The Supreme court already banned it years ago ."

Noting that I am not up to speed with the specifics of this issue, my impression is that states have never expressly amended the Constitution to prohibit themselves from doing things like this.

In fact, President Thomas Jefferson had officially clarified in a State of the Union address that the states would first need to appropriately amend the Constitution in order for the feds to have the power to stick their big noses into INTRAstate schooling (my wording), something that the states have never done.

So not only were the post-17th Amendment ratification Supremes probably once again “amending” the Constitution from the bench when they unconstitutionally dictated policy on this issue imo, this University of California policy ultimately depends on the threshold of “pain” of legal majority California citizen voters if, and with all due respect to California Freepers, the good citizens of California wake up to what is going on, or the Constitution is appropriately amended.

Corrections, insights welcome.

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with new patriot federal and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.
