Just what i've been saying. Blacks want more affirmative action on college. Lower the standards so they can graduate even though they haven't (and can't) learn anything.
The Affirmative Action Education Bubble Behind the Campus Protests
nov 27 2015 Student loan debt is at $1.2 trillion. College enrollment increased under Obama, but graduation rates fell. Barelyhalf the students who enrolled in 2009 graduated. His plans for expanding enrollment rates worked, but the plans for expanding graduation rates didn’t.
And some of the biggest casualties were black students.
81% of black graduates had taken out loans and 39% of black borrowers drop out of college. This money helped keep colleges that were deeply in debt afloat. But it didn’t do much for graduation rates.
Only a third of black male college students graduate. Among black women, it’s 44%. And the college graduation gap between white and black students has continued to increase under Obama.
The affirmative action disaster benefits a handful of institutions while costing taxpayers trillions.
The problem of meeting national standards was solved through promotion. Students who couldn’t read or do simple sums still graduated with a diploma. 1 in 5 high school graduates can’t read. Only 16 % of black high school seniors were even assessed as proficient readers. That’s bound to be a problem when 71% of black high school graduates go on to college where proficient reading skills are a prerequisite.
Unprepared high school students were promoted on to college. Affirmative action made it easier for black students to get in, but once they were enrolled they still had to be able to handle the work.
80 percent of high school graduates arrived without basic reading, writing or math skills at the City University of New York. This year it’s down to 78 percent. Even more prestigious colleges have been dumbing down the reading materials assigned to freshmen. But eventually a limit is reached.
