[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am getting from this that the white folks are mad at “DEI”. It cannot be that elite anymore now that the browns and the blacks are getting in. All that riff raff ! Let us hire our own folks from the top public universities!

In your own way you did get straight to the heart of the matter, even if not necessarily in the way you intended.

The simple reality is many diversity admits at elite colleges are nowhere close to the white or Asian admits in terms of scores and accomplishments, it does devalue the overall perspectives of the degree.

I see a resume from an Asian graduate from Harvard, I know she is going to be among the absolutely tippety top of students given that they have the highest barriers to entry to Harvard. But I don't consider resumes from a black Harvard graduate in the same light. I know, as the Harvard data confirmed, they had much lower admissions standards. [/quote]

Good thing this is anonymous because you racially discriminate in hiring. [/quote]
dp.. unfortunately, that's the double edged sword of DEI.[/quote]

No it isn’t. It’s only like that because people are racist.

Both applicants made it through Harvard in this case but you’re judging them on what they may or may not have done 4 years earlier based on nothing but their race. I kind of doubt someone who thinks like this would have some different opinion under other circumstances. You just use DEI as an excuse for your own bias. [/quote]
Nah, it's not about racism, but the reality of knowing that some URM get into elite colleges due to DEI.  Look at the Harvard case and the test scores that came out of the discovery.

When they graduate from that college, and the GPA is mediocre, the hiring manager will automatically assume DEI.  If another URM had a high GPA, then they won't think that.

If an Asian student has a mediocre GPA in college, they won't assume that they only got into that elite college due to DEI.  They can assume other things, but certainly not that they got in due to DEI.

That's what happens when you have an admissions policy that uses DEI.  You may not like it, but that's just the reality.
