DeSantis Higher Ed approach

On the AA debate, this headline from the Times caught my eye. I let my subscription lapse and the rest is behind a paywall, but the headline looks interesting and confirmatory of a point often lost in the AA debate

Even as Yale and other elite universities tout diversity, most have clung to an admissions tradition — giving preference to children of alumni — that mostly benefits students who are white, wealthy and well connected.

 

I read the article in its entirety. That sentence accurately sums it up. Essentially elite universities have affirmative action programs for the children of alumni who tend to be overwhelmingly white and upper income. One of the many reasons that the white working class feels aggrieved is that they do not qualify for the affirmative action programs available to racial and ethnic minorities nor do they have the connections of the wealthy.

 

Well I wonder what his new community college Civics grant will say.

He does know how to stay in the news cycle.

 

Yea, he is a Yale/Harvard grad and I'm sure received all the benefits of those degrees. Yet, he seems to go out of his way to now downplay those institutions and his association with their elite status. Trying to show the blue collar folks he is one of them I guess. Quite the spin.

 

Is it a grant to teach real civics or the made-up civics his buddies at Christofascist College came up with?

 

Well the grant is to Florida State CC in Tallacrappy….

 

Ah, clown civics. That might be interesting.

 

Thanks.

 

Don’t hate. FSU is making moves.

Conference Realignment Continues As Florida State Joins Ivy League

To be fair, they only got in because their daddy Ron DeSantis went there

 

Anyone know Biden's academic background? Asking for friend who lives in China, I mean Venezuela. Thank you in advance.

 

Lowly Syracuse. That’s why Tucker had to reach out to Georgetown/Yale grad Hunter to try to get Buckley into GU.

And I literally didn’t have to make any of that up.

 

That would severely damage UF’s academic reputation and rankings.
