It’s your money, folks!
If you’re thinking of sending your son or daughter off to, er, “college” anytime soon, think harder. And you might want to avoid the University of Cincinnati–where they’ve got a professor who declares that anti-plagiarism policies “harm Black (sic) and Latinx (double-sic) students” (https://www.campusreform.org/article/anti-plagiarism-policies-harm-black-and-latinx-students-professor-argues-/19850).
But wait, there’s more! It’s not that they won’t let the students stoop to plagiarism–although at least one noted plagiarist has gone on to become president. The prof sez the students are also harmed by “exam surveillance, zero-tolerance policies, and fraternities and sororities.”
Obviously it’s only Social Justice to allow students to cheat on exams–how else are they to get the boxcar-loads of A’s due to all Minority students? Those zero-tolerance policies are an absolute bummer; and as for fraternities and sororities… mere words fail me! You certainly won’t find them in Utopia! Go ahead and look–I double-dog dare you.
For this you pay $27,932 a year.
Can you say “What have I done?”
A recent variation on this topic is the use of AI to write papers, or sections of papers, for students, and that includes graduate students in doctoral programs of major universities. Many departments, including engineering, allow this if it’s included in the bibliography of source materials.
Wonderful.
I triple-dog dare you to teach all minorities how to read at their grade level – what a novel idea.
Giving degrees to students who haven’t truly learned is not a favor to that student. I’ve seen recent grads in various workplaces who were essentially helpless, but would remind others of their degree, if they were under pressure. One fellow who comes to mind wore his Masters Degree like a crown of thorns, but even he admitted that he was ill-equipped to actually make things happen in the real world. This is becoming evermore common.
“Education”–hot dog!
College are a disgrace these days
And a criminally expensive one at that.
