[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Merit. Merit should be the focus. DEI is nothing but divisive and a waste of time. [/quote] Define “merit.” Lots of things have merit that you probably don’t consider worthwhile. Hint: It isn’t test scores. [/quote] Test scores are intended to be a measure of proficiency, not of merit. But it turns out to be a measure of merit, as well - because a test can for example measure your level of literacy - as can a job application. If you aren't literate enough to fill out a job application, you're going to have problems and be very limited in your prospect in working life. If you lack skills in math, your options in STEM are very limited. And so on. Test scores aren't items of merit to hang on a wall, they are hurdles to clear toward getting you situated in life.[/quote]
