In b-school, in the early 1990s, the one black woman I remember, in the some time intros on the first class day of a course, said she was in HR at a then-notable company, and her interest was diversity in the business.
Can’t remember the course, might have been Org Behavior. The school mixed that class up with students from other “disciplines”, er, fields of study.
Worried about him. As it turned out, he wasn’t. So he came home, got a full-time job, went to community college, then to university, now highly sought after engineer earning a good living. So glad all you geniuses can try to tell me how to be a parent. Hope it works out for ya.
Let’s see if your kids end up doing as well as mine, then you can tell me how to be a parent. The kid wasn’t taking finals, now has three degrees and is highly employed, so I guess I didn’t harm him, did I? He was at the wrong school, KU, a liberal hellhole.
Walter Williams is a national treasure!
How did academia fund this explosion of positions and salaries?
Student loans funded this mess thanks to our government. We the people have financed this ridiculousness on the backs of our children who are so deluded they believe paying six figures for degrees in fanciful degrees will lead to economic prosperity.
I guess it does if you can gain one of these positions in academia or government. However, the majority of them will end up serving coffee at Starbucks.
I’d leave that to his boss and wife to say overall. But a parent chasing down the kid’s attendance for exams at college? Only if there is some sort of safety concern in my book.
Well, good thing you didn’t raise my kid. Now MYOB.
If you don’t want commentary on it, you probably shouldn’t be whining on a FR thread about a college not hopping to your helicopter parenting.
For those of you in Rio Linda...aww, forget it, I doubt anyone is on here 😋 (had to do a Rush slant)
I can say whatever I want on here.
Within limits.
And so can I.
Sounds like good decisions on your part and your son. I am so please to read that he is doing well.
Totally agree with your original post.
I think the key is to do what someone else suggested- if my money is paying for college, kid has to sign to bypass FERPA. Or no money.
Glad your son chose the right path. My son is following in your son’s footsteps.
The ACT and SAT exist now and are widely accepted as being racially neutral.
Any job that didn’t require college degree in 1950 doesn’t need one now. The vast majority of work done in the U.S. merely requires adequate literacy and 6th to 8th grade numeracy. Also....The vast majority of jobs are learned **on the job** after the person has been hired.
Insurance companies are well positioned to determine the SAT or ACT score needed to **safely** do a specific job.That, too, is racially neutral.
Businesses should be encourage to hire people based on their literacy and numeracy, and not on the basis of college degrees.
Yes, the dream came true for him. Thank you.
Yes, you are right. I still think it is a stupid law.
Cleaning out the Leftists from Academia will be one thing the Constitutional Reformation will do.
Woven their own nooses.... (betrayers)
Less than 5 minutes to Midnight on ‘the clock’ for that ....

Yes I did on open records on the FERPA applications at a local community college that I help pay for. They found a way to deny these records because they don’t want the public to know how many foreigners & invaders are using the system and getting it for free.
There were a lot of foreign kids in my child’s graduating class, so many that when an American name was called it was strange.
