America’s Largest And Most Expensive DEI Program Is About To Go Up In Flames

[sealybobo]

What if they didn’t pass their medical boards? Should we grade those on a race based curve? Where does it stop?

The problem I have with AA or any preferential treatment based on race or gender is that it doesn’t take into account the factors you mention. The black son/daughter of a neurosurgeon living in Beverly Hills would receive the same preferential treatment as the son/daughter of a white part-time janitor living in the mountains of WV. If we really wanted to help people that are disadvantaged, we would look at finances, not race and gender.

Where does it stop? It stops where it is now. No, they still have to pass the medical boards.

I don't understand why you can't be a doctor if you went to doctor school in another country.

Now if we could just get the .gov out of the student loan business.

Barack Obama, histories greatest predatory lender! Quadrupled the cost of education and put most of a generation in debt in exchange for a subpar education

Don't worry about us. The median income in the USA was 37,585 USD (2022)

In 2024, The median annual income for bachelor's degree holders is 86% higher than those with a high school diploma.

In 2023, the median income for bachelor's degree holders was $115,400 for males and $83,390 for females.

You don't even like education. Your solution is don't go to school. Be a plumber.

Bull SHIT!!! It's a great program for busy working adults. Busy working adults can't go back to school and work. Not at traditional schools.

And UofP sucks so bad, all those traditional schools now offer remote/online/one day a week programs for busy working adults too. They went from trashing us to copying us.

UofP is a regionally accredited school just like any other good school. MSU, UofM, Harvard, Western Michigan, Northern Michigan, Wayne State, Northwestern, University of Miami and University of Phoenix are all regionally accredited. That is all that matters to employers. Well, I'm sure Harvard opens more doors than Phoenix but Phoenix opens just as many doors as Western Michigan University, right? Like who gives a fuck? You got a bachelors from a regionally accredited school.

If UofP was a scam, companies wouldn't pay for it. A lot of Phoenix students are working already and their employer would not pay for a scam. And once the person has a degree, they get promoted. Sorry if you uneducated slobs don't like it.

I think you are confusing UofP with Trump U. Now that was a scam.

It’s a great program for investors that made a killing of the debts of Americans

I mean they prey on people like you that think they need a BS to be a telemarketer

Well college was $5k a year when I went. And only Democrats want to make college more affordable.

My brother started saving for his kids college the day they were born. When he got a bonus or pay bump, he put it into his kids schooling.

I know a lot of rich people. They all want their kids to go to college. But they've sold you on the idea that college is a waste of time because you can't afford it anyways.

Back when I worked at UofP, it was only $10K a year when traditional schools cost $20K.

Yes, we would show them how to get $7500 a year in student loans.

A lot of employers paid for the degree. So no loans were necessary for a lot of people.

I'm not going to go into it, but everything they teach you at UofP is designed to make you a better employee and more hirable. That's my beef with traditional colleges. They didn't prepare me for the real world. I just took 120 credit hours. That's 40 classes.

UofP prepared me for the business world. Powerpoint presentations, projects, working with a team, etc. All the shit employers are looking for, is the UofP format. It's why the guy invented the school in the first place. For busy working adults. He had to go to traditional schools and like you, he realized they were a joke. So why pick on John Sperling for agreeing with you and doing something about it? He had to take on the snooty universities you are trashing now. But now you seem to agree with the snotty traditional schools, even though you know what they produce is liberal woke garbage. Why is that?

So you don't like public universities or for profit universities? What kind of universities do you like?

What did I say about public universities?

Your education has failed you

 

[sealybobo]

Oh you like public universities?

A public university or public college is a university or college that is owned by the state or receives significant funding from a government.

You're a socialist?

No, public schools don’t make someone a socialist

You should of studied more and learned what socialism is

Where does it stop? It stops where it is now. No, they still have to pass the medical boards.

I don't understand why you can't be a doctor if you went to doctor school in another country.

So it stops with 5.7% of physicians being African American? You don’t think the left would do anything in their power to increase that number? That includes claiming that the board exams are racist and therefore must be graded on a curve or perhaps even giving different test to people of different races.

To the left, diversity trumps all, even competency. The end game is not to have the best and brightest, but to have the most diverse. That is strategy for failure.

Actually, the percentages of doctors is appropriate. Around 50% are white. Just like America.

I couldn't care less about any diversity percentages. Man, woman, black or white, I just want the most qualified people for the job.

 

[drudge X]

Lol...DEI makes people less likely or won't interact with other ethnic groups?

No shit Sherlock.These worthless DEI experts didn't see this one coming but they are experts somehow.

Sometimes that's not what you get when you only go with the white kids who've been prepped on how to take those tests because they go to expensive private schools.

DEI is toast, finished and stupid to begin with

 

[Godboy]

I don't fall into the average but I am way better off than the median. And should reach the average before I hit 60 if Trump doesn't fuck up my job. Which I believe he's going to. I deal with Canada, Mexico AND China.

50-somethings​

• Average net worth: $1,132,532 (ages 50-54), $1,442,075 (ages 55-59)
• Median net worth: $272,800 (ages 50-54), $320,700 (ages 55-59)

How about you? And you're just a taker not a maker. You aren't earning the dough.

Your pitiful boasts are not an effective counter to the topic at hand. You really suck at debating.

 

[DBA]

Again, it is not about race, but economics. Believe it or not, there are wealthy kids of all races.

I think it's gone on long enough. I also think you are kidding yourselves if you think it's DONE because there are groups. ACLU, Women's League, who put pressure on companies to diversify. So companies give women departments they can't fuck up too much. VP of HR. Marketing. Accounting. Finance. But NEVER the CEO. Or rare. Very very rare. It would be even more rare if AA didn't ever exist. Women don't appreciate it. Neither do blacks, hispanics, etc. They resent people thinking that's why they got the job. So if they don't even like it, let's do away with it as an official policy but instead just show these groups the numbers. Show how you are moving towards being a more diverse organization.

If its a Democratic President, you'll be diverse or not win government bids
