Those of you who have been out of university since before the golden age of the internet don't know how it is right now. I served on my third-tier school's student conduct board, as a student representative. The way it worked is that if anybody accused a student of violating the conduct policy, that student would sit before a board consisting of one student, one faculty member, and one college staff member, usually a resident director or something like that. The board would hear the accuser, the accused, and witnesses called by both. Then the board would decide, by majority vote, whether that student did indeed violate the conduct policy. The disciplinary action taken as a result of a violation must be a unanimous decision. By far, the majority of cases I sat to hear involved accusations of plagiarism leveled at a student by a member of faculty. In 100% of these cases, the faculty member discovered the plagiarism through some kind of internet plagiarism detector, which trawled through academic paper databases to find similarities between an uploaded (student) paper and one or more of the hundreds of thousands of published articles out there. When I tell you that these profs brought up charges of plagiarism on the thinnest of "hits" from these detectors, I really mean it. Two or three similar sentence fragments, use of a particular word over another more common word, etc. Every time I hit "submit" on a paper, I hoped to God that I didn't somehow channel a sentence from a paper I had read early in the semester or something. Anyway, on nearly all of these plagiarism cases, the faculty and staff members on the board would automatically vote for a finding of violation. Sometimes I agreed, other times not. But majority rules, so that was that for that student's grade that semester (at minimum). I say all this to illustrate the assumption on at least one college campus: that students are guilty of plagiarism simply because some bot told the school that there was a certain amount of "similarity" between their paper and various published papers. Again, this was a small, third-tier school, and I doubt the attitude towards student plagiarism gets *less* rigid as you move up that ladder to the better institutions.

Considering that they're already a heavy tax burden on those of us who are net taxpayers, I'd say the reparations have been paid many times over. Enough with the gibs.

Is it pandering if it's correct? Once again leftists cheer and clap like seals whenever any ethnic group that isn't northwest European or old American stock acts entirely in their own self-interest, but when someone does it for Whites it's "pandering to the terrified." And he's an Indian for *****'s sake.

She's not running again. The only reason the NY Dems (the party, not individual dems) backed her up this past round is because of the short runway they had after Cuomo resigned. AG James has been told that the NY Dems will throw their money and support behind her in 2026, you best believe Hochul has been informed of that fact as well and will decline to run again.

Somehow I think the NYS DMV would be relieved if she 180’d back on that one.

Vivek is running the campaign desan- … never mind I don’t need to say it again. DeSantis let his foolish, useless staff trot him down a loser path and flushed hundreds of millions of dollars and tons of political capital down the drain on the way there. Sad!

Well most Americans can step over that bar, so by your own assessment I’d say no.

What do you think the average IQ is in the US? What’s the cutoff for being too stupid to drive a car or own a gun? Triple digits? 85? 115?

Yeah, I mean there's tiers of Ivies too if we're being honest. HYP then everyone else (with respect to our local Cornell apologists). That said, Purdue accepts over half of its applicants. Now as far as skill goes, RIT/RPI/Clarkson, even Webb (though highly niche) may turn out folks who are actually better at working engineering jobs. Working out of the area to Purdue, Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern, etc. may pull similar results. But these schools generally have to weed people out of their elite programs more than the Ivies due to lower bar for admission. Interestingly one exception to that rule might be Johns Hopkins. Despite not being an Ivy they are highly skewed toward test results in their admissions and end up with more folks of strong raw intelligence than other unis in their tier.

I would if only because he qualified the Ivy+MIT crowd as "sharper." RIT, RPI, Clarkson, other northeast math and engineering powerhouses still recruit from a shallower pool than the Ivies, have lower SAT/ACT scores (which reflect IQ), and tend to test lower in tests like the MCAT, LSAT later on.

The H-bomb may be one of the most valuable pieces of paper in the world. Pays dividends not just immediately after graduation but throughout your life if you play your cards right. Which is why it’s so incredibly disappointing to watch it get handed to the undeserving so often now. But that’s not a bug now, it’s a feature.

Until when, the next one? She’s still down 30 in her home state ffs.

They won’t tell you the real reason why young white women didn’t turn out for trump.

If every immigrant here looked like Melania did when she came over liberal women would form SS squads overnight.

Didn’t seem to matter the rest of the drive.

Need someone to ask every republican senator whether they sodomized that staffer.

Lmao

I was responding to the tweet calling it “weird” but it didn’t render right in my browser so I didn’t want to put it in the quote. The progressive position was never about “equality.”

It’s not weird. “Segregation” of this sort was always acceptable because whites never understood the end game. They wanted your stuff, you gave it to them in the hopes that they wouldn’t call you racist. Now you have nothing. And they don’t care.

I ignored it because I’ve already addressed your r*tard*d chart multiple times to point out the actual problem with the US regarding gun deaths, once in this very thread.

You're under the impression that there are coincidences in politics. There are none.

Actually I stole it from here: https://datahazard.substack.com/p/american-murder And my complaints about Trump are well documented. I think I summarized his approach to criminal justice issues as “Kardashian admin,” a reference to his penchant for pardoning criminals because Kim Kardashian took them up as a cause.

Not anymore they don't. Thanks, Obama. Literally - Obama killed a significant amount of the funding for the study of crime at the federal level. I wonder why. No, that image is not put out by the FBI. It's made by calculating rates per 100,000 based on 2020 census numbers and 2021 NIBRS homicide data. Both public datasets available for your review. Math is hard, let me know if you need some extra time after class.

The source is in the image you dolt.
