What are the consequences?

• tryonenow 5y ago
  Lower admissions standards in a misguided attempt to fix a diversity problem which will only erode the caliber of graduates overall, with knockdown effects on greater society over the years as people lose the ability to test for and recognize the competence required for a meritocracy. It's been increasingly happening for decades, as race, gender, and sexual preference are given an outsized role in candidate selection for school and work. Based on the misguided presumption that all groups of people are on average equal in ability, with inequity justified originally by "socioeconomic factors" and more recently through "systemic racism".
