I went to a top 20 undergrad institution, and I bring this up not to toot my own horn (because I am firmly of the opinion that other than social status and networking, there's not a huge difference between the tip top schools and many other schools).
25+ years ago affirmative action was everywhere in college admissions. My freshman roommates was a black guy who had well-off parents. He had attended a prestigious private highschool. He had shitty SAT and shitty highschool grades. He should not have been admitted. He was on academic probation multiple times, and while he did graduate, he went to a super shitty law school and now has a shitty job.
He would have been better off going to a school where he could have performed better and had less debt.
In my four years, the only people I knew who ended up on academic probabtion were minorities who had test scores and grades that would not have gotten them admittance on the merits. They were by no means dumb people.
One Indian girl I knew flunked out of engineering. She transferred schools, ended up in some kind of nursing program, and has done great.
The analogy I am making...my school just wanted to up their "diversity" quotient and they let in many people who were not helped. The school gets helped, but the individuals get fucked.
It's the same here. Canadian gets to jack off about how good and accepting and diverse they are (while getting some cheap labor), and meanwhile the individuals are suffering.
In the majority of instances, that’s by design. The schools wanted all the money of being diverse without the work. It is a for-profit setup that just sucks on the government’s and big business’s bosoms. This has trickled down to hiring the cheapest teachers (socialists, communists, trannies) and providing the cheapest studies (women’s studies, politics).
I saw that happen in real time at a school near my parents house. They got rid of the computer science department because the school president said she stuff was the future.

Pure performative leftism, like all leftism.

I wrote SJW, and spellcheck corrected me.
