quote:

Students at the University of Washington are demanding that black students should not face difficult exams and time constraints because they are too “busy fighting for [their] rights to sit down and study”.


quote:

And the university thinks it is a good idea: It is currently advising professors to pass black students on the basis of race after an online petition gathered more than 26 000 signatures. “You need to encourage and demand professors to accommodate their black students during this time. If UW truly understands our pain, UW will be a part of alleviating it,” the petition states.


If I were a black student, or simply a black person alone, I would be very insulted by this, as if to say that I wasn’t smart enough to pass on my own, and so need White man to just pass me. That would piss me off to no end, and yet, not a peep about racism here. It’s extremely racist IMO

A UW degree is now worthless for all intents and purposes.

These universities have no standards or desire to educate anyone anymore, it’s all a money grab to credential

Just going to make that degree worthless in the eyes of future employers who won’t know if they passed their classes and earned a degree on merit or because of shite like this

I'm sorry but I refuse to believe this. I wont. Its not true. It cant be. No institution is that gullible and spineless. Higher education will not compromise

Fighting for their rights?

So they want better grades after fighting for something they already have?

MLK is rolling in his grave. I'm sure that by today's standard he'd be called an Uncle Tom.

You can’t lift someone up by lowering their standards.

Especially if you’re black. They just made it so that the classes are easier and black students are passed regardless of ability and performance.
