It’s the only way they can achieve their quota of a certain class of people with an average IQ of 85.

August 1st, 2015, the effective date when college diplomas became worthless pieces of paper.

When GW became a “historically black college.”

The quota would be 100 %, if they had their way.

“Based in Foggy Bottom, this private university dates to 1821 & is known for international affairs. - Google”

A little double entendre.....

We tried, but too few minorities had decent test scores. We can’t admit that they aren’t qualified, so we’re dropping the tests.

Bah. This is entrance-test optional. Let’s cut the bull and get to exit-text optional, and just pass diplomas out in the Quad.

SAT scores are probably unnecessary. The colleges (especially crazy expensive ones like GW) need warm bodies and they know a lot of the bright kids regardless of class are choosing community college for the first two years. Unless you’re a top level athlete there’s not much advantage to being a freshman at a 4-year school (not enough to justify the price tag). Ivy League schools are a special case, but if you could get into an Ivy as a freshman you can get in as JC transfer too as I’ve seen (a friend of mine just got in to Columbia University as a transfer from community college).

This is how it used to be in most places. You graduate from HS with good grades and you go to college. But then we decided to start imitating the Asian model of education, with 12 rounds of testing and an anal probe.

LOL. I went to GW for my undergraduate degree back in the 1980s. Back then, it was known as an expensive school for not-so-bright kids with money. It also was a party school. I thought at one point its reputation increased but I guess everything old is new again.

"My money's on "Assata Olugbala Shakur University.""

Here's a question where I'm seeking an opinion rather than facts. I admit I had to look her up. What I found mildly interesting is that with a $2,000,000 price tag on her head, and softening relations between the US and Cuba, do you suppose she's getting a little unsettled? Even the Obama FBI has put her on the '10 Most Wanted' list.

Do you suppose she might be looking for another Socialist People's Utopia? I can't think of one, offhand.

After a holistic review, I decided not to give any money to GWU, although I have a degree from there.
