DEI gone wrong: Connecticut girl who graduated SUEs education system cause she’s illiterate

@tinman @CrixusTheUndefeatedGaul @strosb4bros I find this thread fascinating and would like your help to understand. Who employed DEI practices in this case, and what is the relative fault you would assign for the woman’s failure to obtain high school education:

University of Connecticut: did they employ DEI in admitting her? Were they duped by her false qualifications?

Her high school: did they grant her good grades because she was a minority? Or did she cheat in high school and they were duped into giving her good grades and passing her?

Her parents: did they fail her by not making sure she did her work, didn’t keep rebelling and acting out (she admits in interviews she was a “bad kid”, bad student, and didn’t do her work), and make sure she got a good education

The student herself: I assume she didn’t engage in any DEI, but to what extent is her result her fault and invididual responsibility.

[edit : sorry @Salvy @Tomstro I didn’t see you were referenced in this thread and didn’t mean to omit you from the question. My bad)

 

My thing is:
When I was young oh so many years ago.
To get into college you needed a decent class placement % ranking
and a good score on either the SAT or ACT.
You can't fudge those as far as I know.


I know nothing of this story other than what I have read on here, so no opinion formed yet.
Just seems strange that there is not an SAT score out there.

 

Same thing when I was young. Times have changed. I have two kids who are in college now, so I know what is the current landscape. Many/some schools have gone “test optional” - you can google that term and see what it means. Basically some schools allow kids to submit SAT or ACT scores, or not. They evaluate kids based on all factors, including test scores, GPA, extra curriculars, leadership, essays etc. This isn’t an isolated case of just a few universities. I would say many if not most of the top 100 universities in the US are test optional. My kids didn’t apply to U conn so I don’t know if U Conn is test optional, or whether the lady in question took or submitted a score.

 

I just looked it up - U Conn is test optional. They aren’t alone by any means. Schools up and down the top 100 are test optional, including elite private colleges

 

this is an excellent question Tinman.

Was UConn duped by her high grades and honors in her application?

Or did they see through the accolades and simply admit her knowing she was a minority and her application was completely fraudulent?

 

adding @CrixusTheUndefeatedGaul and @Tomstro. Sorry guys, I’m bad at inclusion.

 

It's OK.
Inclusion went the way of the dodo bird in January.

 

Are you a Democrat and did you vote for Kameltoe? I’m not Sherlock Holmes, hell I’m not even Lestrade but I believe I did crack the case. Lol

 

Yes to the first 4.

But they have nothing to do with the end goal of DEI in organizations. It's disingenuous. Let's fight racism of the past with ... racism of the present. That's a recipe for vengeance that only results in mediocrity.

The 5th one is where narratives start to trump facts. Your daughters may well check certain boxes and have talents those schools found interesting. Good for them.

But we also see countless examples of it being abused. You'll have wealthy minority kids with privileged upbringings taught to play the victim card on college applications. As a result, institutions and organizations see them as higher on the oppression scale than a white kid from the Appalachians because of skin color. Organizations will only promote and hire people based on ethnicity, gender or sexuality instead of letting them naturally compete person to person.

It's giving these people the power to play God and bypass the meritocracy that is a foundation of capitalism. Speaking of unequal footing, poor Asian kids outperform wealthy AA kids on every metric except "personality". But they are still harshly discriminated against the second they put their race down on an application. We always knew this, but multiple lawsuits show reverse discrimination affects other minorities to. Not just the "evil white man", which is a foundation of DEI ideology.

DEI ignores equal opportunity for unequal outcomes. If it was truly about personality and subjective traits, there wouldn't be issues with it. But when it so clearly, based on real world examples people see over and over again, about venerating mediocrity with the right immutable characteristics over competence, integrity and ability, people of all groups are going to get angry. like so many things, it starts out noble then gets corrupted beyond repair.

 

So is it your position that UConn engaged in DEI when they admitted her based on her application of high GPA and high school honors?

I asked you a rather simple question above and you can’t seem to respond.

 

yet you cannot answer a simple question. Did UConn engage in DEI practices when it admitted this woman based on her inflated high school GPA and honors? Did they magically know that her credentials were fake, but they decided to admit her because she was a minority?

The fact that you, @Tomstro, @CrixusTheUndefeatedGaul, @strosb4bros and @Salvy continue to duck this very very simple question demonstrates your intellectual dishonesty and frankly, it is pathetic. Just say it.

- DEI exists.
- You hate it.
- You think it is crap (He’ll, even I recognize there are problems with it).
- But DEI had zero to do with this woman getting admitted into UConn. And you know it.

Individually and collectively, you guys are pathetic and supremely intellectually dishonest. You know it and you don’t even care.

 

I haven’t ducked anything. I have no idea what is going on in this story and I don't care. Yes I think hiring and university admissions should not be based at all on skin color. There should be no skin color quotas anymore. I know that makes me a nazi to you. I don't care about silly things like that.

 

i give you credit for responding. I didn’t realize you hadn’t posted here, you just keep getting tagged by your Trumper teammates.

Those dudes are some weak ass, intellectually dishonest b-tches who do know about this story and cannot answer simple questions about it. Because they don’t want to admit they are full of crap as it relates to whether this story has anything to do with DEI.

 

Bruh I haven't been following, so they let her graduate because she is latinx despite not knowing how to read or write?
