What is never addressed is the fact that AA kids with ACT scores in the 20s, admitted to prestigious schools where they typical score is 34 out of a possible 36, are totally unprepared for the rigors of the curriculum. Just the list of books that are to be read as part of the general humanities curriculum everyone must take is pretty daunting. Prof Amy Wax of Penn got into deep doodoo when she observed that her black law students were at the bottom of her class. So these AA kids are pushed through, handed the sheepskin, while highly qualified Asians are denied for being too good. Do we need more consultants in DEI firms or engineers?
A very pernicious aspect is that these disparate standards will train people at the schools to associate black people with lower average performance. It's probably creating subconscious bias in the name of fighting it.
That's no problem. When the students can't handle the rigor of the curriculum, schools can just make the curriculum less rigorous. Or just give everyone an A.
And then at their new high end jobs, their bosses will end up expecting less (but still expected to hire) of these students. I almost feel like this is a purposeful plot to cause more racial division.

They've taken care of that day lowering standards to the point where the bottom no longer fails or by eliminating grades altogether in some cases.

Problem solved!

And society's demise.
They already give everyone an A at many of the ivies
There's nothing rigorous about the humanities programs at any of these schools.
