Colleges everywhere need to be hollowed out.

quote:

Leading British universities are preparing to lower test standards in a bid to help improve the grades of ethnic minorities and poorer students in a major DEI initiative. The universities of Oxford and Cambridge are among those preparing to implement “inclusive assessments” such as open-book exams and take-home essays rather than monitored in-person testing in the hopes of cutting the gaps between groups of students, The Telegraph reported.


Its going to get to the point that a degree means nothing.

Most degrees now, mean the same or less than having one right now.

Why don’t we just declare bipoc people to have degrees by virtue of their race? It would be easier and less expensive.

So "some" minorities cheat and can't comprehend the topic...

Same as in the USA.

Though in the USA it's two different minority groups maxing out each behavior...

That's ridiculous. Asian and white kids have to score at elite levels to get in to these universities and programs, and they are good students. Beyond that, though, you have no idea if their degrees were earned or given.

If you have an Asian doctor from a reputable med school, or a white lawyer from a good law school, they are good at what they do.

They don't pay for it.

Essentially that's what we've done. I mean have a "wise latina" on the SC who likely can't tie her own shoes.

I’m actively rooting for UK to go belly up as much as Germany at this point.

Why not just let them use Google or CoPilot to find the answer?

Oh, and if you're Asian or White, they could tie your dominant hand behind your back so that you can't write as well.

I should feel sorry for the Brits but I don't. Those arrogant pricks are getting what they deserve. Who's dumb now?

The level of stupidity continues to increase in the UK with this DEI shite. Eventually, the pendulum will swing back right. The problem is the further it goes left the correction will be further right which could could be not very good for the Muslim's.
Considering the aggressive actions of the Muslims lately, riots and so forth, the reaction from the right would probably result in much violence.

Only for minorities. It still requires work for non minorities.

take-home essays


How would the professors know if the student wrote it if it's written on a computer?

Gee, there is absolutely NOTHING that could go wrong with this.

What is so frightening in all of this is that these ideas and this line of thinking are coming from people of alleged high intelligence.

God help us all.
