I have written before about Caltech lowering its standards and discriminating against admitting male undergraduates (policy set to have 50% girls), and dropping the SATs. Now they have weakened math requirements that used to be strong, and are substituting Khan Academy as allowable prep. 2023 will be marked as a downward turning point for this school.

They have managed to dumb down Caltech.

I emphasize, dumbed down. Caltech in the past required not just smart but also really strongly math-capable. They have now weakened entry in the name of DEI, to allow in students from 'less advantaged' backgrounds, and foreign women students, and so on. This was preceded by hiring a Marxist, black lesbian admissions director who declared her goal was to admit fewer American male undergraduates. Now look at the female jogger student in the photo. That is not a particle physicist in training.

I also note that girls do not build things as much as, nor the way, boys do. Where this will play out is we will have fewer 'thing' innovators than in the past.

These are no longer the kinds of kids who once helped create Silicon Valley and put us into space. When you add to it Stanford, which banned a list of words including 'American' and Harvard, which has gone full-blown socialist legal studies, our best higher institutions have been steadily gutted. The lower quality schools (colleges) now teach remedial high school arithmetic.

Things have sunk low, and the commies are winning.
