College needs to go. It should be as simple as showing up and writing all the necessary tests an industry needs to show competence and, upon passing with a sufficient grade, give the applicant a job.

That's how it used to be.

Then the Supreme Court decreed, in Griggs v Duke Power(1970) that any test which has blacks passing at a lower rate than whites is illegal discrimination. So companies instead started demanding college degrees.

Pass a law that says testing is not illegal discrimination, and the whole college establishment comes crashing down.

Shouldn't, by the same token, any university that graduates Blacks at a lower rate than it graduates Whites also be deemed "discriminatory?"

I like how you brought it down to specifics. I’ll need to read up later on that Duke Power ruling.
