NYT Offers Solution For Colleges To Circumvent SCOTUS Affirmative Action Ruling | Eastern North Carolina Now

    The New York Times offered a possible "solution" on Thursday that would allow colleges to circumvent the Supreme Court's recent ruling regarding Affirmative Action in the admissions process.

    The Court ruled against Harvard University and University of North Carolina last week, stating that colleges could no longer consider race as a factor when reviewing the applications of potential students - so the NYT offered a possible workaround that has already been adopted by the University of California's medical school.

    The program, like Affirmative Action, is designed to enforce diversity - and it appears to operate essentially like Communist China's "social credit score," but in reverse.

    "To build a diverse class of students, the medical school at UC Davis ranks applicants by the disadvantages they have faced. The disadvantage scale helped turn UC Davis into one of the most diverse medical schools in the U.S. Can it work nationally?" the NYT asked in a tweet.

    Dr. Mark Henderson, head of admissions at U.C. Davis' medical school, said that he implemented the program in an effort to get away from a world where most of the students who were able to get into medical school came from wealthy families.

    Henderson developed what he refers to as the "socioeconomic disadvantage scale, or S.E.D." - and explained that it gave each student a score from 0-99 based on their individual backgrounds, financial status, parental education levels, and other personal hardships.

    According to the NYT, since the Court ruled against Affirmative Action in college admissions, some 20 schools have approached Henderson for information about his process - but the question remains as to whether it would work on a grander scale or whether critics of "race-conscious admissions" would accept it as something more substantive than a back-door Affirmative Action.

    Still, it appears likely that some schools will try to implement different programs in an effort to lessen the impact of the Court's ruling.

Understanding that this fragile Republic of the self-governed is in a precarious space in our nation's vast history: What is your honor bound patriotic duty in helping to sustain the continuance of these United States of America?

  I will depend on my Democratic Socialist politicians to continue to march hard toward the Left to provide Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for all who think and do as they are told.

  I will defend the Constitution of the United States of America, and support all elected leaders who pledge to protect and insure the continued sovereignty of this Representative Republic.

  I am very concerned about maintaining my current life style without working. I was told that as long as I vote Democrat, I had nothing to worry about ... but now I worry.

Since only about 20% of the News Media has any shred of Journalistic Integrity remaining: How does our Constitutional Republic continue without a "Free Press"?

  Demand real information, using real sources, backed up by facts.

  Promote real journalist entities only, and admonish those that prostitute their profession.

  We Democratic Socialists are doing just fine, thank-you, by promoting lies while having very little real knowledge about so much.
