How many Black and Latino students wasted their time at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ?

The education system is failing for black students.School choice or some other competitive solution is the only way out for Blacks, yet they vote with Dems who are 100% against choice, amazing.

The democrats want black students to do nothing and get everything for free

Are they saying that Black people are stupid?

Perhaps this will both
1. save the colleges and
2. put pressure on some of the miserably- failing high schools to start teaching a their students a whole lot better

The education system is failing for black students.Black culture is failing for blacks as a whole and this includes their education.

It will take a lot longer for the damage to black students and graduates to go away then it will take for the damage to the reputation of the school.

Thomas Sowell reflects on the academic excellence of the all-black schools he attended as a child. Those schools provided discipline and academic rigor, enabling the black students to match and even excel the achievements of the children in white schools.

There are no shortcuts to training for good teachers and for step by step learning and accountability for all the teachers and all the students.
The educational system needs to be truly color blind.
To: rightwingintelligentsia
As it should be. Asians and Whites should not be penalized to correct supposed historic wrongs.

The remaining blacks will know that they earned it by merit, not DEI. They’ll be the model for young blacks, rather than LeBron James bouncing a ball over a court.

Yes, but you know what? Any black graduate from MIT in the future will get top dollars offers. Hiring companies will know they’re getting diversity for their own staff AND a high quality student.
To: rightwingintelligentsia
MIT should focus on financial aid to underrepresented students who meet or exceed their academic standards and forget about lowering standards to make admission easier.

How many Black and Latino students wasted their time at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ? You are correct that many struggle at such places, so these top schools turn themselves inside-out and upside-down to attract the small cohort of top black students that can pass their programs.
My daughter's school had a black boy, an excellent student, and son of two Nigerian doctors (so was neither poor nor typical American black) who rec'd admission offers from every Ivy League to which he applied (which was eight).
The asian and white kids who were also at that level were happy if they rec'd one.

About 5% of MIT’s incoming class of 2028 is Black, a significant drop from its 13% average in recent years. Now that 5% will know they actually earned their place at MIT.

You raise a very good point.
Helping underqualified people get degrees in difficult fields of study ultimately means that they will be underqualified professionals with fancy but useless degrees.
These schools are still trying to put lipstick on pigs...and it just won't work.
