He's been trying to hold CGA's feet to the fire on its low numbers of minority appointments for the past three years. The trouble is, not enough qualified minorities apply to CGA. Whether it's lack of interest or they just haven't heard about it, the numbers are low. To "fix" this Admissions will now be able to look at race and take less qualified applicants based on that factor.<br /><br />I don't think most people at the CGA were aware that this was coming; those I've spoken with were surprised. If you aren't familiar with CGA's layout - the office of the Director of Diversity Affairs is the closest in proximity to the Superintendent/Assistant Superintendent's suite; that speaks volumes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-74753152469991502892010-10-07T16:09:11.000-04:002010-10-07T16:09:11.000-04:00It's always good when your first "public ...It's always good when your first "public case" like this involves an easy decision. Of course there are many folks who would have wrapped themselves around the axle because of the "wiggle room" that the judge provided.<br /><br />Of course, I hope that the Mid realizes how lucky he was that the resident came to the door with an unloaded weapon (not the smartest COA in my mind). There are plenty of locales in this country (see posting below) where he would have received two rounds in the chest when he returned with his weapon.C-dore 14noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-34847039852269238372010-10-07T15:43:01.000-04:002010-10-07T15:43:01.000-04:00Supe separated him on 06OCT10.

Who makes these decisions and who's holding (or more accurately stated "not holding") them accountable for their retroactive, discriminatory policies. The worst part is I think the military is one of the least harshly affected domains by the diversity push that exists nationwide. Our nation's emphasis and desensitization to flat out discrimination is the greatest threat to our country. Think about it.. diversity focus in medical schools= less qualified doctors= decline in health care quality. Diversity focus in the military= less qualified officer corps= decreased national security. Generalized diversity focus at universities= marginalization of a large group of better qualified college candidates that no longer have the ability to contribute to the country what they once might have been able to contribute.<br /><br />Is anyone else afraid for our future? Someone please tell me who is making this happen.. the name Elijah Cummings seems to be my natural inclination.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-49386323740883331852010-10-07T14:01:01.000-04:002010-10-07T14:01:01.000-04:00Drunk people who don't know how to handle thei...Drunk people who don't know how to handle their drink do stupid things.
