Liberal whites who have voted this crap in learning the hard way. Can't wait until this summer with SCOTUS destroys college admission practices.

Let them. When enough dumbasses have those degrees from those institutions the name won’t mean as much.

Sounds like that kid and their parents made terrible decisions in where they applied to college.

Hey, you champions of 'equity'.

Be careful what you wish for.

Sounds like a little socialistic redistribution of school performance is working as intended.

She should have her niece identify as a POC. Problem solved. In fact all of us should. Once we all receive favoritism then maybe it will stop.

Sounds like they made a terrible decision to be white and live in California and think there was any sort of merit system in place.

Undoubtedly from CA.

Need to tell her niece it doesn’t end there. Just wait till the job hunt starts!

I can tell you all sorts of ridiculous stories from inside the Stanford admissions office. My SIL is the former director of undergraduate admissions.

It’s as bad as you think.

I have a name that could easily be interpreted as a "black" name and I never put my race on any kind of application. Almost always get interviews

I question if that tweet is really true.

Just listened to a podcast that covered this topic. The "elite" colleges who are doing this, which is most of them, were compared to a dead whale. Their reputation has been built over a long time, and that inertia will work for a while, but eventually you've just got a rotting carcass.

Industry that has to perform has already taken notice.

Ive worked in higher education for 20 years. The stories I have heard, even if half true, are amazing. I'm committed to pushing conservatism in this field - there are more of us than people think, but many have been silenced.

When you remove merit from the process of college admission, career progression anything. You get train wrecks and bridge collapses.

Simple answer to this crap is to put on the college admissions applications that your child is transgendered.

Trust me, I've seen it. We had a short-lived guy who would hire only Tuskegee engineering grads.

The silent question in peoples mind will soon be, how did poc “professionals” get their degree. Covid should have taught us the once noble medical field has been corrupted
