>>If this is the case - and I do not honestly think this situation occurs very often - then we have affirmative action run amok, which is obviously not a good thing. I don't see this situation as inevitable at all. Like anything else, if the program is managed without some attention to common sense, it will not work very well.<< A Department Head of an allied health department at another major college has told me also it is the policy to hire lesser qualified people to teach just to fill a quota when there are far more qualified people who have also interviewed... also, this Department Head told me, as a policy of the school, that her Department must accept students into her program who are far less qualified than other students who have superior academic credentials but cannot be admitted due to imposed quota limitations... I know this Department Head very well for a long time, she's not fabricating her claims to me..... Steven, the sad fact is, affirmative action has run amok and the proponents of this policy are too involved to admit it.....<g> I think it's a terrible situation..... you now have less qualified teachers and professors turning out less qualified students into professions that one day can cost you your life..... this is very problematic and an incipient indication of worse things ahead.....
