Used to be that you never argue with a man who buys ink by the barrel. The media still thinks this is the rule, but I would avoid picking a fight with a billionaire on a mission. Will be fun to watch. How many do we know now? Three? |

"In my home! In my bedroom where my wife sleeps! Where my children come and play with their toys. In my home.”
Ackman forced out the President of Harvard, despite the unanimous support of the Board, and then people decided to pick a fight with him?
LOL. Good luck with that.

I took a class on classical music at Rice, but it was in the School of Continuing Studies, so I've left it off of my CV.

Everyone knew this going in. Eliminating standardized tests a key tool that underprivileged minority kids were using to show they deserve opportunities they otherwise would not have access to.
But another part of the explanation involves politics. Standardized tests have become especially unpopular among political progressives, and university campuses are dominated by progressives.
Many consider the tests to be unfair because there are score gaps by race and class. Average scores for modest-income, Black and Hispanic students are lower than those for white, Asian and upper-income students. The tests’ critics worry that reinstating test requirements will reduce diversity. The Supreme Court’s affirmative action decision has heightened these concerns.

The "problem" with respect to standardized tests is that they cut into the DEI priesthood's degrees of freedom.
