[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d still take the worst ivy over almost every non-ivy[/quote] Most students today wouldn't[/quote] Cornell is ranked #11 by USNWR. Rankings aside, average students today are morons. The TikTok generation. Most students today belong in community college.[/quote] After the fake redesign to help large schools with a bunch of Pell grant students, it was ranked 19 before that. Do you think the current methodology will last when schools have removed DEI?[/quote] My grandmother was FGLI at Cornell in the 1930s. She was extremely bright and descended from fairly literate but poor immigrants from a very poor European country. One of many US women who helped further the idea that women should receive equal education to men and could pursue professional opportunities. One of her friends there was a mainland Chinese grad student who studied aquaculture in the Ag school. When the Communist takeover ruined his chances in China, he moved permanently to the US and helped innovate in the fish farming industry. So that's an example of what DEI looked like almost 100 years ago at Cornell. DEI policies (using whatever buzzwords are in vogue in an era) definitely are life-transforming for those who get the opportunity. And are not to be sneered at if you believe in rewarding intelligence and hard work among those who weren't born into comfortable, conventional situations.[/quote]
