University stops professor from giving women better grades for being women

There is no GIANT MALE CONSPIRACY to keep women out of tech fields. They simply don't have the ability or the interest.

https://www.thecollegefix.com/post/45009/

may 16 2018 The University of Akron has put its foot down against a professor who planned to raise the grades of female students so they would stay in his field of information sciences.

After The College Fix quoted an email to students from Liping Liu, an administrator told The Fix that the business and management professor’s gender-based approach was “unacceptable” and that no grades have been artificially raised.

Liu admitted to The Fix that his plan could be “questionable,” but said he wanted to “test the water” to see if this approach could “attract female students into future classes” and help correct chronic gender imbalances in his field.

The professor informed students that he had sent their final grades to the registrar, and that three “categories” of students “may see their grade raised one level or two.”

Females would get grade raises as part of a “national movement to encourage female students to go [in]to information sciences.”/QUOTE]

Same thing as affirmative action. It then calls into question the credentials of any person sharing the same demographics as the one who got the "help".

Yes indeed. Everyone knows that a HS or college diploma for a black doesn't prove anything because of affirmative action grading. Women are going down that same path.

But the much more sustained "help" males and whites get through sex and race advantage don't call their credentials into question?

Document your claims of white male privilege. I don't see it anywhere. All i see is affirmative action. Business and colleges and the govt are open in saying they give preferences to women and blacks.

One blatant example which has been presented to you repeatedly: a white person with a felony conviction is more likely to have a job than a Black person with the same education, the same work experience, and no criminal record.

And? So what.besides which that is completely unverifiable as any sort of evidence. There are no two exact same people with exact same credentials and exact same work history. Not even possible.

And that means white skin is a potent enough advantage to negate the disadvantage of a felony record.

I don't know if that is true or false but if it is true it's because everyone knows our schools use affirmative action grading for blacks. A HS or college diploma for a black proves nothing. Most of them still can't read or count or even tell time.

No it's the voice of logic. When blacks are given the "benefit" of affirmative action grading in HS and college it naturally means no one takes their grades seriously.
The data show that a majority of whites weren't taking their grades seriously before affirmative action was around. Also, as your story makes clear, "affirmative action grading" is something that is nipped in the bud at the slightest hint it may happen.

HAHAHA, Affirmative action grading is everywhere. All schools do it and expect the teachers to NOT admit it. That's what is different here.
