Well... DUH.
It makes no sense to award somebody with a medical doctorate degree who’s NOT SUCCESSFUL.
It makes no sense to award somebody with a degree in physics who’s NOT SUCCESSFUL.
This is extending participation trophies to their illogical conclusions and these professors should be immediately sacked for their shoddy research.
The point is not to give a gold star to everyone - the point is to figure out why certain peoples of certain ethnic backgrounds can’t (or won’t) seem to excel.
Dear University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.
Please remit a Bachelor’s of Science in Interspace Mining to the below signatory. In accordance with your opinion that merit and success in mastering a degree subject is immaterial I’m taking the liberty of assuming attendance is also immaterial. I look forward to receiving a parchment from your institution via return post. Regards.
Merit system in academia to be replaced with the welfare model. Based on it’s proven success.
No they're not. The problem is that you're stupid and ignorant and using wrong definitions for the second group of words. Use accurate definitions and then there is no conflict with the first two concepts.

Try replacing ‘equality’ with ‘excellence’ and EVERYBODY’s boat rides up!
Why merit is “neoliberal” I can’t understand. The old communist states valued academic achievement too. As did the pre-capitalist era medieval universities. Or maybe everything that is not new and “woke” is neoliberal, even if its neither neo nor liberal.
And everybody in his/her/it’s class gets an A?

The universal benefit of ‘excellence’ — agreed
The Left is a self-loathing, miserable lot. They’re the sniveling, snot-nosed losers that have somehow managed to gain control. I blame Youth Soccer.

I just want the liberals that support this be required to go to a doctor who graduated because of justice, diversity, equity and inclusion not merit.
I couldn’t make this up - but they can.
“I just want the liberals that support this be required to go to a doctor who graduated because of justice, diversity, equity and inclusion not merit.”
Or drive over a bridge designed by an equity-focused engineering firm and built by a diversity-first construction company.
Just what I want-—a surgeon who cannot pass 6th grade with merit to be doing my medical procedures.
This is also the legacy of Participation Trophies.....
Exactly.
To the Left "justice, diversity, equity and inclusion" are incompatible with objective measurement of competence.
