Apparently the "Pass" bar is very low, as in "Can you fog this mirror?" low.

On the other hand:

Our grading system and curriculum allow a level of flexibility and freedom that is unparalleled. Students can tailor their educations however they see fit. They can do clinics, research with professors, write papers, participate in journals and other activities, perform community service...

Also:

our grading system is officially demarcated into Honors, Pass, Low Pass, and Fail, although I personally have never heard of anyone failing. But for all intents and purposes, grades are Honors or Pass,

So if you get in, you pass.

I bet if you call the right admissions person a racist, you could get in.

 A lot of Hahvuhd grads are sooooo releived ...........

Anyone can matriculate through an Ivy League school these  days .......

The Cantabs are even worse.

Standards have declined  In everything.

I gotta say, academic decadence aside, the real problem here is the woman's a psycho.

Sheila Jackson thinks she's Barbara Jordan.  Or maybe she thinks everybody else will mistake her for Barbara Jordan.  (she's no Barbara Jordan, even if she does "represent" the 18th District)

I'd hazard a guess that one's kid could get into any college or university if the path was paved with enough greenbacks or threats of racism.

Or be on the preferred duh-versity list and get admitted with scores for which no member of another group would even get consideration.

IIRC, the last time scores were studied, the highest scorers admitted from particular minority groups were lower than the lowest scorers from white, Jewish, and oriental students.  Race was THE largest factor in admissions, period.

Can one of you sages of wisdom tell me which card in a deck is the race card?  I know it isn't the queen of harts or the joker....

In the case of SJL it IS the joker.

So if you get in, you pass.

And even then, it took her three years after graduation to pass the Texas bar.  That was even before she had constituents to ignore, disabled employees to harass, or just generally being too busy pissing people off to have time for studying as excuses.

Pfft.  I was matriculating WAY before college-age.

So is that how a "Community Organizer" can get a law degree?

how a "Community Organizer" gets a law degree.
"hello sir, may i have a law degree?"

"no."

"but, but, but, i'm oppressed!"

"well here you go, hope it makes you feel better about yourself."
"and now you know why the records are sealed."

i'm not signing this one, and no, i'm not Terry.


P.S.
