There are tons of parents who bribe schools officials to accept fake SAT scores, create fake sports profiles and get their kids into a school they wouldn't or couldn't qualify for.
How is that merit based?
USC, Yale, Stanford, Harvard and others have all have been involved in scandal's. Ever seen Suits?
DEI doesn't mean unqualified. But then again, just look at what's happening in DC.
Do all of trump's picks have "merit?" (Rhetorical) I know you won't answer unless it's something Gif related.

Well, there's that. And then add in how much money the DoD and corporations have invested in it and it's no wonder why many (not all) programs are not effective and why organizations are letting it go. Its hard enough to hire qualified candidates as it is.Butch Bradford wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 5:07 pmYep.
They are filling their DEI quota at the expense of other students, regardless or merit.

Do you think the people that support these practices will really stop doing it?
You guys are acting like every protected group is going to fired, deported and kick out of their house this week.
