No free money for scholarships unless qualified.
It's a cultural thing that blacks don't act white.
From my time in the service it was obvious the
majority of blacks have zero initiative.
I’d be more interested in the number of graduations of those minority admissions prior to 2023
your pov is widely shared
“Black culture is failing for blacks as a whole and this includes their education.”
Sadly, what’s failing black students and blacks in general is their average IQ of 85. The elephant in the room nobody wants to see.... and there isn’t a known remedy for that.
And all the slobbering, preferential treatment, and tolerance and excuse-making of their failures and bad behavior by whites only makes things worse for them and all of society.
Reality doesn’t like to be mocked.
I had a boss once who was very dark skinned and went to MIT
I can guarantee you that he was not DEI or affirmative action in any way.
Unlike Kamala he was not part .Indian either.
You mean only QUALIFIED black and Latino students are now admitted? Oh, the humanity!
Race
Class
Gender
The federalized education model with racist quotas is fair to NO ONE. Too often these poorly prepared students are forced to change majors to majors that make them proponents of DEI policies that perpetuate this insanity. DISSOLVE the Dept. of Education, it is an abysmal failure!
I agree. There’s no telling if some or all of the talented 5% did receive a free ride or a substantial underwriting of their expenses. But the consideration should be academic merit and aptitude for the work.
Merit and ability prevails over DEI Dogma.
Validation of “The Bell Curve”....applications based upon intelligence, not race.
They don’t like to give those figures to the public, but:
“Nationwide, only 26 to 28 percent of black students graduate from college, a full six years after admission. At MIT, a representative of the Registrar’s Office refused to reveal the GPA of minority students, claiming that “it would be misleading”, but according to Dean Leo Osgood, required withdrawals in the six-year period from 1990 to 1995 were composed of between 33 and 55 percent minorities, who made up about 15 percent of the undergraduate student population.”

In 4 years they will see that the percentage of black and hispanic students that graduate will be much higher as the under qualified ones don’t get admitted any more. And those that do not get into MIT will go to other schools where they fit in better academically.
Headline reflects the liberal outlook on this. ABC doesn’t mention the converse - that students who are actually qualified to be admitted now GET to be admitted.
Not in this case. Affirmative action (AKA institutional racism) was pushing blacks into places like Harvard when they were demonstrably unqualified. So, they flunked out in record numbers — hurting their prospects for life.
If you cannot hack Harvard go to a community college to actually learn something for a year or two and then re-apply.
Even 5% blacks at MIT is way too high. If admission was done on merit, blacks would be .1%.
MIT has extremely high academic standards esp in math and blacks can’t even do third grade arithmetic.
If we are being honest and Charles Murray has proven...on average, Blacks are dependent, violent, imbeciles. Not many sh*thole Irish, Jewish or Italian neighborhoods.
Or are black students failing the education system?
The data were pretty clear years ago at Berkeley where they were letting in unqualified minorities. Those kids were bright but not up to the competition at Berkeley. They struggled and the drop out rate was high. Those kids suffered and felt like losers. Had they gone to a less competitive school they would have thrived.
When Berkeley stopped the program and took only the top minorities the drop out rate when down.
