[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]DEI admits often submit lousy work[/b] but profs have to give them decent grades.  To stay reasonably objective, this means the better work of non-DEI admits has to be graded at least as well or higher.  The end result is almost everyone gets high grades.  NYT won't tell you this but it's the obvious explanation.[/quote]

Oh horse shit, you racist piece of excrement.[/quote]

It's not racism.  They explicitly lower standards to achieve whatever diversity they want to achieve.  This is mathematically inevitable.  [/quote]

That didn't actually happen, moron. What bizarre fantasy life you lead.

Unless, as others point out, you mean "athletes" when you say "DEI?"

Or, white kids?[/quote]

Ok, so you think black/Hispanic/first gen kids are of equivalent academic caliber - even though we know based on hard statistical information they are not? It's not even some kind of secret the schools deny - they openly have lower standards to achieve diversity objectives.[/quote]

DP:  Actually, in many cases, the First Gen kids are often better.

- Some admits have had all of the advantages that money and educated parents can pour at them since before birth — from private schools with small class sizes, to tutoring, enrichment activities of all kinds, and parents who know how the system works.   Compare them with kids who lacked most or even all of those advantages— and still manage to do well enough to get accepted to top colleges — and do well once they get there.

- Doesn’t that make you wonder what those  more privileged admits might look like as a cohort — if they hadn’t had lifetimes supported by all of those privileges?
