Not if Scott Walker and the Republicans in Wisconsin say anything about it... It appears that it affects the flagship campus (Madison), as well as the UW's urban campus in Milwaukee. Political correctness has now reached an entirely new stratosphere: The University of Wisconsin-Madison believes grades should be apportioned based on race:
Campus Reform reports: The policy, named the “Framework for Diversity and Inclusive Excellence,” calls for “proportional participation of historically underrepresented racial-ethnic groups at all levels of an institution, including high-status special programs, high-demand majors, and in the distribution of grades.” Huh? UWM professor W. Lee Hansen wrote about his concerns with the ridiculous politically correct policy late last week: “Professors, instead of just awarding the grade that each student earns, would apparently have to adjust them so that academically weaker, ‘historically underrepresented racial/ethnic’ students perform at the same level and receive the same grades as academically stronger students.” http://www.ijreview.com/2014/07/159328-really-university-says-good-grades-distributed-equally-among-students-based-race/ |

This cannot be the mere result of imbeciles in power. There has to be a plan to "imbecilize" the population.

How it that not inherently racist? They're saying _____ minority has trouble getting as good of grades as whites, so they're going to bump their grades up to make them equivalent? Am I reading this wrong?

Race based admission policies are bad enough. But at least under those grades still must be earned. No matter how useless the made up major.
But this seems to be the logical extension of trophies for everyone. YAY! You tried! And that's all that matters. You tried. Such racist. So paternalistic. Much condescension. Wow. |

This becomes the institutionalized norm and I will refuse to have a *insert minority group that statistically doesn't do well in school* doctor because there is a much better chance that they didn't earn their degree and aren't as good at their job as a white doctor. There aren't any shortcuts in place for the cracker to half ass his way through school and get a degree he didn't earn.
See how well this fucking stupid policy is going to help eliminate racism? It fucking promotes it. |

edit: Giving a white guy an A isn't fair to the rest because he already statistically has the best chance to obtain a job. His lower grades will help even out the playing field when it comes to finding a job. You crackers can all be happy with your C's. Just be thankful you didn't have to suffer all those years of oppression and slavery. |

Hopefully the officials that promote that policy will, in the future:
Be represented students benefiting from this policy who went on to be lawyers, be treated/operated on by students who benefited from this policy who went on to be doctors, etc, etc, etc. |

Fucking do it, college is a joke anyways. Massive waste of time and money. Let's get this party started.
Funny thing was, at Central Michigan, I had a couple black girls from Detroit in my finance classes that couldn't do elementary level mathematics, the professors gave them Cs for effort because they felt bad for them, the girls failed everything miserably. They did try their asses off, however, I felt bad for them and didn't care, I set the curve anyways. |
