Yea sure becaue the World has been getting smaller, more open, and more integrated. The World has been evolving. Many of the advanced countries are experiencing low birth rate problem and population reduction, hence relying on immigration. |
What is the cause of the decline in quality US education? I am so curious. It correlates with increased immigration during the later 20th century, no? |
Now that affirmative action is ruled unconstitutional, you want justice and fairness. It's your way - or it has to be fair. Got it. |
It’s caused by the affirmative action, watering down the quality of everything so that the more “preferred race” can be selected. |
It's caused by states no longer investing in universities. When boomers went to college, state schools were heavily subsidized which is why they could be a part time waiter and pay their way through a state flagship. That funding gets cut during every downturn and never gets restored in good times. |
Not really. Decline of education quality happened at all levels, not just the college level. |
I don't understand the obsession with 'elite' schools; btw, they are not elite, they are just exclusive, you can go play with Tiger at some exclusive golf club, or get tennis lessons from some McEnroe bro, but you can have just as much fun and learn at any other decent club the problem is that they cannot have quotas, so they cannot limit overtly the number of members from specific background ... but they did i, do it and will forever be doing it covertly btw, that guy behind it and all over the news, he got what he was so desperate to get, celebrity status, 5 min of fame, but that is all he'll ever get out of it, he is fooling himself it will change anything in admissions, and when talking about their stellar EC maybe he could be as vocal about the rampant nepotism in their ranks, with parents that arrange internships for their children through friends and families, that abuse the system and send their children to relatives to attend schools in better neighborhoods |
Dumbing down is the biggest cause. |

Try again. The largest shift in demographics due to AA was the significant increase in enrollment for women. URMs are still...underrepresented. |
I was offering some perspectives in this thread, as people tend to do on message boards, and one of the other posters, a conservative, called me a "piece of shit."
Stay classy, Republicans! |
"underrepresented"? that's a liberal/fascist word, not a human language |
They are projecting because they actually are POSs. |
maybe you are when you call Asian kids bots and testing machines. |
No, it's a numbers thing. URMs are not watering down the quality of anything because they aren't there. |
