Second, I was concerned with equity. For almost 10 years I have been studying inclusive pedagogy, which focuses on ensuring that all students have the resources they need to learn. My studies confirmed my sense that sometimes what I was really grading was a student's background. Students with educational privilege came into my classroom already prepared to write A or B papers, while others often had not had the instruction that would enable them to do so. The 14 weeks they spent in my class could not make up for the years of educational privilege their peers had enjoyed.
Reducing requirements for entry to university results in accepting those who start too far behind other students. They're strapped with debt, the one type of debt that never goes away, think they're dumb and become easier to radicalize. If instead they directed them to a program (such as a community college course) that could help learn the prerequisites they need to actually make use of university, they would do far better.
That is assuming universities still have the ability to actually teach students something worthwhile, instead of just indoctrination.
The solution is to stop accepting individuals who aren't up to the standards.
exactly what I wrote, they don't meet the standards for university, so you direct them to a program so they can gain the standards before they're accepted into university. It might take them a year, but it means if they go on to university, they won't be behind before the first day.
Of fucking course.
Thomas Sowell talked about this.

Still a problem, still hogging resources.

Library cards?
I don't think you really understand my point here. College should not be for everyone.
The people who deserve to be in higher education are the people who give enough of a fuck to be ready for it.
