Maybe, but I have known a lot of affirmative action types who did not measure up. I worked for a department chair once who could not figure a percentage, even though he was a PhD in sociology.

I don’t think you get to be president of Harvard Law Review thru affirmative action, but I could be wrong. Anyway, I knew several sociologists in college and they were all dunderheads in anything involving math or science, so your experience with a sociologist PhD not being able to calculate a percentage is probably the norm.

Maybe the PhD was honorary due to some outstanding distinction.

Like being the first person to ever fail sociology.

Your key word there is "sociology".
