separate from the question of whether elitist top-down social planning is the point of college, nothing you’ve cited is relevant to the original point of mine that *you* completely ignored: with standards these low the degrees will be worthless. your equalization is canceled.

If the American dream is upward socioeconomic mobility, public universities are a major part of that. When you defund public education, you’re saying kids like these don’t deserve opportunity.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/19/us/university-california-merced-latino-students.html …

What do you think educates more than half of California’s medical students every year? And seriously, you’re mad about the SAT? If you’re so confident in the quality of standardized testing, why don’t you use it to evaluate entrepreneurs at FF?
