Stanford University is pushing a separate physics course for minorities in hopes that it will result in more diversity among physics majors.
A 2016 survey revealed Stanfords physics department to be one of the least diverse departments within the institution, and the university has since embarked on a mission to resolve that supposed concern, according to a university news release.
Creation of special curricula and support services for ethnic minority groups and women...textbook examples of unequal treatment Tweet This One step Stanford has taken is promoting a modified version of the standard Mechanics course, a requirement for physics majors, boasting added support.

Stanfords alternate version of this course, Physics 41E, boasts additional class time, as well as learning assistants, individuals with a passion for education equity, who are paid by the university to guide students through the difficult course.
The university says this modified course helps to increase diversity in the field because students from underrepresented groups often dont have the same level of preparation from high school as their majority peers.

Lol! For the students who truthfully shouldnt even be enrolled at that school??
Racist pig. ....how dare you judge me by my qualifications.
Lol.
Thats what Pedo Joe told us
Yeah, we all know, thanks to Joe, that "poor kids are just as smart as white kids;" but are they as smart as Asian kids?
They are more than welcome to take real Physics instead.
Has it ever dawned on anyone that there are statistical IQ differences between races?
I understand that the variance amongst a race is far greater than the variance between races.
Save anecdotal 5 sigma from the examples.
But water doesnt have electrolytes...
You mean water like from the toilet?
That seems to be the case if you believe this college
This “Stanford Guideline” for physics should be applied to every subject taught in every grade of a student’s education. Let those who excel move in a fast trajectory, unimpeded by those who can not or just do not want to excel!!
From the mean
I also thought the courses described were sophomore level courses. Any weakness should have been made up in the first year of the calculus based physics course. At Stanford that should be a rigorous course and fill anything missed in high school.
Next up ‘pilot training for minorities’ in the USAF and USN.
They should make a chick physics class too

Sounds yummy. ....
Shit, I thought youre head would be bigger!...
My wife recently broke her femur completely through. Her condition was complicated by bone mets that had weakened the upper part of the bone. A local surgeon attempted to repair it in the usual way, with a femoral nailing procedure. Halfway through he gave up and admitted he didn't dare go any farther; he had already damaged part of her hip. We were referred to one of the major teaching hospitals in Philadelphia and my wife was transferred there on a Thursday. When told she might have to wait until Monday for surgery she started to get very upset, until the intern whom she was speaking with said, "You don't want a weekend surgeon doing this!" Fortunately they were able to get her in on Friday, with a top surgeon who had no trouble doing the procedure the local one had given up on. His comment to us was, "We tend to clean up a lot of garbage from the outlying areas."
So, yes, there are vastly different levels of professionalism, depending on the circumstances.

Brawndo does! It's what plants crave!

Yepper, that’s how Floreeduh? got where it is re teachers. Now we are flooded with teachers who don’t know the subject they teach to our kids....Dumb,dumber,dumbest...rest assured the unions won’t make ‘results’ a valid item to discuss re raises for teachers.
Lol, I should have known that was already posted.
