There will be quotas based on race, and who knows, maybe based on gender too.
I think it Would be hard to do a quota on race.
When I was In IFC there were at most 2-3 black guys going through rush. Idk what the numbers are for the women.
And those guys all eventually got bids somewhere.

Everyone who wants a bid can get a bid somewhere. The ones who get nothing just want a specific fraternity or sorority and would rather be a GDI that join somewhere they aren't comfortable, which is the way it should be.
While specific houses may be selective, and even exclusionary, the overall Greek system is open to basically anyone.
They idea that this is some system keeping the unwashed masses out is complete fiction.

The only obstacle I found Was some guys couldn’t pay dues.
But that’s sorta the price of admission isn’t it. The friendships are free. Parties and tailgates costs money.

Well, yea. shite isn't free. I think every club on campus has dues of some sort.
But with fraternity dues, at least you are getting something for your money.
The Greek system gets a lot of grief on this site, but it's really nothing more than a co-op. A group of like-minded people pooling their money for housing, food and social activities. Nothing more.

Gosh, I hate to come across as the leftist here, bc that is not remotely who I am. But, the over-reaction is getting tedious.
Academia is all very left-wing. It is so much worse than the worst I've read, I do not know what to say.
But, I read two of Tate's articles. They are not remotely what so many are suggesting. He has argued that students in poor and/or predominately black neighborhoods have had academic difficulties. Often, we did not support them as perhaps we should have.
I cannot imagine anyone who would disagree with that. We did so much harm in the black community, what should we expect?
That said, Tate has argued we should increase math and science education in poor and predominately black neighborhoods. I agree. Don't you? How else can we expect people to get jobs?
Give the guy a break, at least for awhile. He yelled "geaux tigers!" I cannot imagine he will oppose the Tigers as a name. He was not my first choice, but I have no influence (well, a little but not much).
Leftists over-react and exaggerate all the time. Why follow that pattern??? I have a friend who teaches CRT. She is a good person. We do not agree politically; however, when my Mom died and later when my Wife died, she was the first person to offer help. Do not assume CRT people are bad. Do not assume they are crazy.
Tate never said, as far as I can find, that math is racist. He argued the support for math education was racially motivated. Hell, it was. I saw that 60 years ago when I was a kid. It was a disgrace. We are now reaping what our parents and grandparents sowed.
Please, give it a rest. Have a little faith. God is in his Heaven. All is Right with the World.

This is b.s. you are definitely a socialist. You are arguing for welfare disguised as special math programs lol. If a public high school sucks it’s because the teachers suck and the school needs to hire better teachers.

I'd like to hear from the people of south carolina and see what they think of him.....
LSU was in a difficult position...with all that was going on it wasnt like people were beating down the door for the job...

You originally stated that “ LSU president would not give an answer when asked about…..”, in response he stated “he didn’t have all of the history or facts to go into detail, but would make an effort to "historicize and contextualize" certain building names and monuments”. That sounds like an answer to me. I’m assuming that you just didn’t like his answer.

Tennessee got rid of Schiano because of a massive backlash by alumni before the guy ever coached a game at the school. Why can’t LSU get rid of Tate if he starts pushing his CRT garbage and the alumni go apeshit?

You do know that if we increase the minimum wage from 5.75 to 15.00 it will motivate individuals to be self sufficient and not Government dependent?

Don’t care about building names. But do not touch the name tigers or get run the hell out with every board member and governor

I always knew there were some batshit crazy people in Louisiana. But this level of Kooks is setting a new low. Or high depending on your preference.
