If this turns out to be true, do you think these people are racial bigots?

Not the mean old KKK styled, white supremacists, but they liberal kind, the sympathetic, racial bigots, who feel pity for the lesser races, and want to help their unfortunate genetic cousins, by raising their school grades, just to make it fair?

I should add this usually works if the professor is Black. If the professor is non-Black and they refuse to raise the grades the professor will be labeled racist. Students will tell others to avoid him/her because they're racist.

95+ % of graduates from this school are black.

This terminated employee and 2 other former and anonymous employees now claim some students had their final grade changed based on race. No further detail is provided. People can and do allege all sorts of things, all the time. Doing so does not make it true or false.

The race of the admin does not matter, if the admin are black, they look upon blacks as racially inferior, and wish to up their grades. Maybe they think they were the lucky, top tier, 1% of blacks, born with superior intellect. It's no different then a liberal bureaucrat or politician, who looks upon the masses as ignorant 'tards, and view themselves as altruistic and wise, and possessing a superior intellect.

I am not trying to validate this story, just speaking in general. I could be talking about a school that is 90% white, with white administrators. If they were changing grades for specific races, do you think they might be racial bigots?

As others have said, we need more proof before we can assign guilt, these are just allegations, and it seems like some are just jumping on board for a payday, my initial thought at least.

If true, to me this is no different then white students who have daddy slip the teacher a few bills to help them with grades. Fairly common with legacy white students.

Also have white student athletes who could not get admitted to many of these schools and get help along the way to become academically eligible.

I'm in the middle school level (6-8) and these kids can't tell time (analog clock on the wall), can't read cursive, can't multiply, don't know any formulas (perimeter, area) and treat a 2 part test question (part A and part B) as a multiple choice answer (they turn in paper with either A or B circled and I have to point out that each one is a separate problem requiring an answer).
About 25% of the students at my local middle school are on the free lunch program. Most of the kids at my local middle school know more than the kids who graduated my high school, back when before tests scores were tracked and compared.

High school drop out rates have substantially declined since the 70's, when I was in school.

As you well know, non Asian foreign born or children born to non Asian foreign born have always been the most at risk group.

Doesn't matter. The article said it's to keep the school in good standing as a predominately Black university.

Where are you every time athletes have their grades inflated because sports brings so much money to all schools or makes them popular?
