Just think..now more minorities can succeed in Engineering and Medicine which can lead to high paying jobs.
Just think of all the collapsed bridges and malpractice suits created by minorities in engineering and medicine who recieved grades they did not deserve.

But it's more important to be diverse now eh ?
Something about this thinking is making me think that eventually H1-B's will be the ones we flock to.
Harrier addressed that - and you conveniently ignored it.
The fact remains that the UW-Madison framework is modeled on the document passed by the UW Board of Regents in 2009 - or are you calling Professor Hansen a liar?
You are the only person who has this question and were the first to raise it for some weird reason.
And you still haven't answered it.
Here - lets take a deeper look at the Framework for Diversity and Inclusive Excellence document which is found on the UW-Madison site, since you want to play semantics games.
Quote:
F. After Plan 2008.
The decade-long Plan 2008 culminated in a
close-out report issued by the Office of the Vice
Provost and Chief Diversity Officer in February 2009. In 2008 the UW System introduced
“Inclusive Excellence,” an American Association of Colleges and Universities model for diversity
and inclusion, as the successor to Plan 2008. As a model rather than a plan, Inclusive Excellence is
meant to guide the day-to-day work and policy of each campus through an iterative process,
responsive to each institution’s individual “mission, culture, identity, and demographics.”
According to the
UW System, Inclusive Excellence is intended to be “incorporate[d]… into the
larger institutional culture [so that] inclusive excellence and diversity more generally will simply
become integrated into the larger fabric of the institution.”
Although benchmarks and goals are outlined, the goal of the Inclusive Excellence model is to guide
evolution and change within institutions of higher learning and to guide colleges and universities
approach to its achieving excellence through deliberate and intentional coordination.
What all this means is that the UW, Inclusive Excellence model was used as the basis for the Framework for Diversity and Inclusive Excellence.
Since the UW-Madison campus is governed by the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents, and their model was used to formulate the Framework for Diversity and Inclusive Excellence, the "proportional participation" language concerning "grade distribution" is integral to the UW-Madison plan.
This isn't rocket science - and Harrier wouldn't want to be an astronaut transported into space with the assistance of a rocket built by a UW-Madison graduate given the existence of such an inane policy.
When was the last time you actually took the time to comprehend what was said?
Here, let's revisit the actual post:
Where does the OP make the claim that grades ARE being distributed by race? He's saying UW is trying to.
BTW, when I was in college the faculty actually worried more about teaching than pushing ideologies.
However UW has not and is not implementing a policy to distribute grades by race. Anyone who thinks so has misinterpreted the statement you have quoted. The researcher who originated the quote has not recommended that grades be distributed by race.
