Because non-white students are apparently having a really tough time achieving the same rigorous academic standards as their white counterparts in passing the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) standardized test, some graduate schools have decided to scrap the GRE entirely for being “racist.”
Princeton University and Brown University have both reportedly announced that many of their graduate and doctoral programs will no long require applicants to submit GRE standardized test scores, dubbing the test as “biased” and contrary to the “diversity” agenda that these universities are pushing.
According to Renita Miller, the dean of “access, diversity, and inclusion” at Princeton Graduate School, there’s not enough room for “intellectual diversity” with the GRE, which she claims is excluding “promising individuals from as many segments of society as possible” from making it into graduate and doctoral programs at institutions of “higher learning.”
“Universities like Princeton have done a good job at expanding and diversifying their undergraduate populations,” Miller is quoted as saying.
“If we want to make similar strides on the graduate level, we must find new ways to recruit and enroll graduate students who may be the first in their families to attend college, and from low-income and underrepresented backgrounds,” she added.
Johannes Haubold, Princeton’s “director of graduate studies for classics,” agrees. She told the media that a major area of concern for her is that standardized tests are “culturally biased in favor of certain groups.”
“They end up testing primarily how good one is at taking tests,” Haubold pronounced in a statement pertaining to the changes Princeton is making to bring in more brown and black students to replace all of the white ones.

Brown is likewise eliminating GRE requirements for 24 of its doctoral programs, citing this standardized test as a “barrier” that discourages “some students from groups historically underrepresented in higher education and from low-income backgrounds from applying for admission.”
“By removing the Graduate School’s GRE requirement and allowing programs to decide whether to require the exam,” says Brown Graduate School Dean Andrew G. Campbell, “we will broaden the talent pool of students who apply to and have access to graduate education at Brown.”
Amazingly, many of the programs for which altered admissions requirements are being implemented at these two schools are highly critical ones that pertain to fields like medicine and engineering, as two examples.
What this means is that, in order to achieve their “diversity” goals, Princeton and Brown are substantially lowering the bar, which will mean hordes of unqualified brown and black “doctors” and “engineers” flooding the job market in these and other fields.
Do you want a doctor performing surgery on you who was only accepted into medical school because the color of his skin? What about a “minority” female who’s handed an engineering degree simply because of her skin color building that bridge you drive your car across every day on the way to work?
All of this anti-white pandering to “minorities” is going to come with some very serious consequences, as unqualified “graduates” who don’t have the slightest clue what they’re actually doing are handed cushy, high-paying jobs in critical fields that we all rely on for safety and functionality in our daily lives.
“Everything is biased now,” wrote one Campus Reform commenter, adding that this “dumbing down” of society is happening in the name of not hurting “anyone’s feelings.”
“Here’s a surefire way to institutionalize mediocrity and ensure that no ‘deplorable’ ever walks the ivy hallways,” commented another.
