Wayne State Drops Math Requirement, May Add Diversity Requirement
Michigan Capitol Confidential ^ | June 17, 2016 | Derek Draplin

Posted on 06/18/2016 10:50:54 AM PDT by C19fan

A faculty committee has proposed adding a three credit hours requirement in diversity to the general education curriculum at Wayne State University. It also recommended that WSU drop its university-wide requirement in mathematics, an idea that was carried out on June 13.

“We are proposing the creation of specific ‘Diversity’ courses, with students required to take one course in this designation,” said a document from the General Education Reform Committee, which is recalibrating what the university will expect from all students who earn a degree from the state university. It released the proposal in May.

Blacks are dumber than whites.

So math has to go for making them look ill-equipped.

And diversity seminars will help them feel good about themselves.

With no effort required on their part.

This is a crisis we'd better get a handle on before it's too late -- if it isn't already!

a very important question! What is everybody else taking for stomach upset after reading some articles on freerepublic.? I’ve been using Pepto-Bismol.
I love this site like a child but God help me I get so upset sometimes. But I have to read every article because if I don’t then my friends and family and co-workers don’t find out about any of this. Some of whom are on the fence. That pretty much goes for all of us I would bet

Surely, this is one of John Semmens’s semi satire posts!:)

I’m sending copies of articles like this one to our younger relatives with sons and daughters getting ready to go to college, or they have kids in college at this time.

So many colleges are a waste of time and parent’s money for worthless Instant Unemployment Degrees.

We had an interesting exercise with one our grandkids, who will be a senior in high school this next year. The grandkid used an I pad to bring up colleges that might acceptable re grades and might be of interest.

There were 4 adults with degrees, who were working at real jobs not a government job and 2 other adult relatives with what would be called trade school training besides my wife and I.

In a two plus hour session, we shot down every college/university with the exception of 3 because of their PC/Diversity emphasis instead of learning what one needs in life to go to work and get a job.

At first the grand kid seemed to be a little upset and then realized that adults with real work experience and educations were eliminating out the weeds.

Two years of community college may be the best first step for this grand child.

An American college degree is worth next to nothing.

Never had calculus. Did have Analysis.

Solution: Substitute Calculus with Algebraic K-Theory. No integral signs, derivatives, epsilons or deltas. At least for the first year.

Wayne State doesn’t want calculus but they are clearly learning how to divide.

Education has been lower and lower priority since the 60s. Conditioning and re-education have been the mission of the whole school system since the 60s.

You’re smart. Years ago I thought about a Master’s Degree in English Lit at NYU. NYU, mind you. Then the reading lists: almost entirely feminist or African-American, nothing extending back farther than about 40 years. And I had read ‘Clarissa’ as an assignment in high school! How was I going to get a proud Masters in Toni Morrison?? Needless to say, I opted out.

Now I’m on line for culinary school. Bread making and food preparation.

I teach business calculus, which typically has about a 60% failure rate. The quantitative business analysis (qba) course has a calculus prerequisite, and it is a rigorous course. I try to prepare my students for that qba course.

Are you kidding. Calculus seems child’s play compared to this.
