Missouri Higher Education Officials Deny Affirmative Action Quotas

Here's just a bit of a Show-Me state anticlimax wherein college scholars seemingly outwit GOP elected officials and engage in wordplay that avoids a showdown over SCOTUS rules. 

The bigger deal outside of culture war . . . A quality university education no longer assures a good paying job . . . If it ever did . . . AND so many working-class denizens have given up on the idea of American social mobility by way of education . . . And see more opportunity thru social media apps. 

Good luck with OnlyFans everybody!!!

Paul Wagner, executive director of the Council on Public Higher Education, said the decision had “no impact” on the council’s member schools — which includes Missouri State University, Lincoln University and Truman State University.

“Race is not a factor in admissions at any of my schools, and it wasn’t before the decision or now or. There were no plans to make it a factor in admission decisions,” Wagner told the committee.

Kim Humphrey, the University of Missouri’s vice provost for enrollment management, said undergraduate admissions are unchanged at Mizzou and other MU campuses but some graduate programs have to adapt.

“At the undergraduate level, we’ve never included race as a factor in admissions, and that’s true for my colleagues at the other institutions as well,” Humphrey told the committee. “There have been some programs at the graduate and professional level, which I don’t oversee, but they did include (race) as a factor. But they have since stopped that.”
