The UC Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools (BOARS) has proposed eliminating the SAT subject test as an admissions requirement for UC schools. In addition they want to lower the acceptable GPA to a 2.8 GPA. This is a C student.
They fear this will only be seen as an attempt to reinstate affirmative action through another means.
Well isn’t it?
The UC system is one of the most prestigious university systems in the world. A degree from one of the many fine University of California schools up till now meant better job prospects and higher pay. But, apparently the BOARS fear too many smart people are applying and graduating and that is unfair to those who are not so smart. They want to level the playing field for fairness, they want everyone to have a college education. Sorry, but that is not how the world works. Not everyone is entitled to or even capable of, obtaining a college education! If we do that a college education loses it’s value.
The Board of Admissions and Relations…two words – educated idiots.
