Especially shocking is the language about “equity” in the distribution of grades. Professors, instead of just awarding the grade that each student earns, would apparently have to adjust them so that academically weaker, “historically underrepresented racial/ethnic” students perform at the same level and receive the same grades as academically stronger students.


Especially unsurprising and unshocking and in fact normal for bloggers of this intellect is the fact the blogger did not use direct quotation from the text to support this claim.

Yes, I am also very suspicious that this piece is not an accurate representation of what is going on. Probably meant more for riling people up (success).

“proportional participation of historically underrepresented racial-ethnic groups at all levels of an institution, including high status special programs, high-demand majors, and in the distribution of grades.”


I'm sorry I assumed most posters were semi-literate enough to click the link before making asinine comments, but I forget about the mouth breathers like yourself on the board.
