Prof to admit students into geology class based on race
Campus Reform ^ | April 26, 2017 | Matthew Reade

Posted on 04/26/2017 8:44:54 AM PDT by C19fan

A geology professor at Pomona College says she will prioritize students of color, immigrants, and low-income students for enrollment in a class with a strict 15-student cap.

A flyer advertising the course on “Southern California Earthquakes and Water,” an introductory geological science class with a particular focus on “the particular geologic challenges” of Southern California, expresses a particular desire for “students from a range of backgrounds whose varied perspectives will contribute to the course.”

Absolutely let them in, we all know once you get a college degree you instantly get a job, you really don’t have to do much after that, do a few spread sheets, have the intern get coffee for you, golfing on Thursday afternoon. Let ‘em in and after 4 years of education they have it made. LOL

Geology is “science”? Not according to Sheldon Cooper.

“”expresses a particular desire for “students from a range of backgrounds whose varied perspectives will contribute to the course””


It is truly a New World when student backgrounds change the emphasis of a college course.

Are not students sent to college to learn some facts? It appears the New World Order is to have students carry their preconceived notions into the classroom.

It is now clear that white people need their own colleges and universities.

Sheldon Cooper is a fictional character created by Liberal Arts graduates who have no understanding whatsoever either of science or of scientists.

Lol, and yet just like the lottery people lap up the college scam gruel. Unlike the lottery, though, college ain’t just “a cheap dream”.

Somehow I cannot visualize a lone line of Students of Color, immigrants and low income students waiting to sign up for a class in California Earthquake Geology.

SuperShelly doesn't even think applied physics is science, much less design engineering - poor non-doctorate Howard.
Funniest sitcom on TV since Friends or Cheers. The wife and I watch the reruns and always find something new in the reactions of the group to laugh at. The deadpan, quizzical, pitiful, and smirking facial expressions are what makes it so funny. Then you have something so unfunny as 2 Broke Girls that I'm amazed it's still on air.

How does a "range of backgrounds" contribute to the course. Did I miss something ? I didn't know there was a White geology, a Black geology, or an Hispanic geology. I guess earthquakes in Southern California decide whether or not an area is diverse enough before they hit that area.

Well in this professor's case, they may just be "rock monkeys" according to Sheldon.

Perhaps they would prefer racially segregated schools?

Seems to be what some on the left are proposing.

LOL exactly what my wife says, to the word.

BTW I have to watch with my finger on the mute button to kill all the samatha bee commercials. She is one angry b!tch that disguises political indoctrination as humor.
