I don’t use my android on the internet very much, either.

Thanks for the link to block them on my laptop.

And the college presidents are afraid? They fear the students that have been accepted by the school and who have been attending class in hopes of getting a prestigious degree? How about this — If you demonstrate, we kick you out. You fail all current classes. You get no degree. No money will be refunded. We can find more students to take your place. Put the fear on the students.

Won't work.

The students are selected for high intelligence but also high academic achievement, which usually means conformity to "what THEY want".

The demonstrators aspire to rule the country, and they are simply conforming to what the silver ponytails who control their future expect.

He is right about not wanting to hire ivy league students. Leave them for someone else. One of my favorite places to hire engineers was the University of Houston. Why? Almost all the students went there because they had to stay at home and work their way through school. They were also solid students who were not in the top 10% of their high school class and could not get into A&M or UT. Still, they were very solid students, trained well enough, knew how to learn and more importantly, knew how to work and produce results even with outside interference. Topping the list came A&M and Oklahoma State for engineers.

Yep. My go-to AI platforms are Claude, ChatGPT-4o, and Perplexity. I am a monthly subscriber to Claude Pro, but I think most of what I need is available on the free version.

“Ancient College Tuitions”

Back in the 70’s tuition for my Chem E degree at NJIT was, if I remember correctly, all of about $350 for the semester. My son graduated from RPI at, again if I remember correctly, about $50k per year, for his Electrical and Bio Engineering degrees, and that was 15 years ago! ,

One thing about all this DEI stuff, and true for both me and my son, we were both lucky that our respective engineering schools focused only on engineering.

My son, after graduating from FL State law scool, went on for a Computer science masters at Columbia, and was amazed at what was going on there, with respect to DEI. In a nut shell, he commented that the students, professors, and curriculum in the liberal arts section of Columbia lacked the seriousness that he experienced in law or his engineering school.
