How do those companies get around the Griggs vs Duke Power ruling?

That’s the ruling that made the BS degree the ticket to s job. It ruined a lot of in-house training programs.
This will be old news by next week. Fines will be paid but new schemes will be put in place. Nothing to see here, move along now.
Everything that comes out of AOC’s mouth all makes sense to me now. No grades? We have graduated a bunch of idiots and AOC is the poster child.
The only thing I disagree with him is about athletics... Universities should be about preparing for careers, and athletes are the absolute best at what they do, preparing for a professional career. As with all careers, only a few get to the top spots with the big money, but that is besides the point.
Some companies ask each applicant to write a program before they'll even grant an interview. And now the big thing today is this:

Disagree!
Colleges & universities should NOT be a farm system for professional football & basketball!
Let them spend the money & make the investment for a farm system. Then these athletes can prepare for their professional careers in a professional environment. Most of the athletes in the current system could care less about being students. They shouldn’t be forced to participate in the current hypocritical charade that their students.
Maybe it hasn’t been challenged! Maybe lawyers have figured out in some cases a way around Griggs vs Duke, etc.
How do we think things are going to work out when government takes complete control of our medical care?
In this situation, people have pleased guilty to things that are not crimes.
How is this really any different than Harvard’s legacy admissions policy where every Kennedy that ever lived got in or even affirmative action where those of lower merit get in based upon their skin color?
It’s all just whoring. It seems people are upset because it was a few soccer coaches being bribed instead of the universities themselves getting a new building in exchange for admitting the spawn of the rich.
The testing is pretty much industry-wide, at least according to what I’ve been reading and hearing.
There’s nothing wrong with testing a prospective employee, especially for a technical career. Companies found that colleges don’t always prepare students well enough for these jobs.
The Dersh is still an clear-minded guy who communicates well.
Any guesses as to whether these Hollywood airheads have voted for or against the affirmative-action candidates on their ballots?
Companies administering tests? Oh, no, I think that is verboten!
Buying a new building to get your kid in is not the same as what happened here. The coaches sold access that was not theirs to sell, it is the institution’s to sell.
The price increased to a new building 40 or 50 years ago. I bet this is just one scam they caught. This has been going on for years. You either pay someone to fix it or you check the Native American box.
I wish I new this crap back when I needed a defense for my poor academic performance. Think my mom will allow an appeal on such an old case?
