Vicious academic libs

Ward Connerly, former University of California Regent, has an
article, "Study, Study, Study A Bad Career Move" in the June 2, 2009
edition of Minding the Campus that should raise
any decent American's level of disgust for what's routinely practiced at
most of our universities. Mr. Connerly tells of a conversation he had with a
high-ranking UC administrator about a proposal that the administrator was
developing to increase campus diversity. Connerly asked the administrator
why he considered it important to tinker with admissions instead of just
letting the chips fall where they may. His response was that that unless the
university took steps to "guide" admissions decisions, the University of
California campuses would be dominated by Asians. When Connerly asked, "What
would be wrong with that?", the UC administrator told him that Asians are
"too dull they study, study, study." Then he said to Connerly, "If you
ever say I said this, I will have to deny it." Connerly did not reveal the
administrator's name. It would not have done any good because it's part of a
diversity vision shared by most college administrators.
With the enactment of California's Proposition 209 in 1996,
outlawing racial discrimination in college admissions, Asian enrollment at
UC campuses has skyrocketed. UC Berkeley student body is 42 percent Asian
students; UC Irvine 55 percent; UC Riverside 43 percent; and UCLA 38
percent. Asian student enrollment on all nine UC campuses is over 40
percent. That's in a state where the Asian population is about 13 percent.
When there are policies that emphasize and reward academic achievement,
Asians excel. College officials and others who are proponents of "diversity"
and equal representation find that outcome offensive.
To deal with the Asian "menace," the UC Regents have proposed,
starting in 2010, that no longer will the top 12.5 percent of students based
on statewide performance be automatically admitted. Students won't have to
take SAT subject matter tests. Grades and test scores will no longer weigh
so heavily in admission decisions. This is simply gross racial
discrimination against those "dull" Asian students who "study, study, study"
in favor of "interesting" black, white and Hispanic students who don't
"study, study, study."
This is truly evil and would be readily condemned as such if
applied to other areas lacking in diversity. With blacks making up about 80
percent of professional basketball players, there is little or no diversity
in professional basketball. Even at college-level basketball, it is not at
all unusual to watch two teams playing and there not being a single white
player on the court, much less a Chinese or Japanese player. I can think of
several rule changes that might increase racial diversity in professional
and college basketball. How about eliminating slam dunks and disallowing
three-point shots? Restrict dribbling? Lower the basket's height? These and
other rule changes would take away the "unfair" advantage that black players
appear to have and create greater basketball diversity. But wouldn't
diversity so achieved be despicable? If you answer yes, why would it be any
less so when it's used to fulfill somebody's vision of college diversity?
Ward Connerly ends his article saying, "There is one truth that
is universally applicable in the era of 'diversity,' especially in American
universities: an absolute unwillingness to accept the verdict of colorblind
policies." Hypocrisy is part and parcel of the liberal academic elite. But
the American people, who fund universities either as parents, donors or
taxpayers, should not accept this evilness and there's a good way to stop
it cut off the funding to racially discriminating colleges and
universities.
