[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Individual human beings do not all have the same intellectual capacity. Certain areas of study may just not be possible for some students, no matter how much they try (or not try, as appeared to be the case in the NYU example). Not everyone is cut out for everything. I don’t think the answer, however, is to just keep lowering the bar and removing minimum thresholds. Some professions NEED to maintain a certain degree of rigor as the consequences of unqualified practitioners can be severely detrimental to society. [/quote] What is more important, competent doctors or equity initiatives? Obviously equity. If a few grandmas have to die, that's nothing compared to correcting historical wrongs of this horrible country. [/quote]
