[QUOTE="Larry Morgan, post: 2851206, member: 4676"] They've had this same type of crusade to get women into computer programming, and with similar ridiculous tactics. Here it is folks, it's as simple as this: As long as you aren't purposefully excluding someone or giving them unequal treatment, your job is FINISHED. Finito. Done. I don't know why suddenly people have got it up their butts that not only do they want to lead the horses to water, they expect them to drink it too! Maybe, just maybe, they culturally don't gravitate to engineering. Maybe that's a problem, maybe it isn't, but it sure as h@#$ isn't the fault of the people going to class for it currently. Actually, I think I do know. I think that "equality" is now a metric, not a philosophy or idea, and in order to comply, numbers must show your are meeting the goals. Even if there isn't someone checking, I think that's how people perceive it now. If you numbers don't look equal, you must not be offering an equal shot. Garrrrrrrrrbage. /rant Edit: Oh yeah, is this the same university where my own brother was involved in a class action lawsuit, because had he been a woman with his same grades and test scores he would have gotten a full scholarship but didn't because he was a white male? Why yes, yes it is. [/QUOTE]
