It may be time to withdraw funding from public higher education.
What you will read if you go to this article is a pretty clear statement of where educators are in their values and priorities.
The point of the article is that colleges should award grades with a strict adherence to affirmative action. Grades would be awarded based on the color of your skin, not on the work you do.
Years ago Willie Brown, Speaker of the California Assembly, tried to get an early version of this through in California. Although race had long been a factor in admissions, he wanted to make graduation also an affirmative action celebration. For some reason he was not successful. Of course, that was California then. I live in California now.
We need something like the old Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval when it comes to doctors and mechanics. Of course that would not be allowed by the ACLU, but a man can dream.
I would be in favor of withdrawing all tax dollars from public colleges and universities. Put them up for sale. Let them sink or swim. I really don’t need a waiter with a college diploma anyway.

I just cut this and pasted it and it worked. I may have left out letter.
If that does not work try Googling the title
Report: University of Wisconsin-Madison mulls ‘diversity-based grading’
Thanks for the heads up. Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
Grace and peace.
