Mike S. Adams, a professor at UNC-Wilmington, has decided that he was wrong to be opposed to affirmative action policies at our counrty's institutions of higher learning, and has changed his mind. And his grading policies.

"I have decided to abandon my long-standing opposition to affirmative action after listening to the oral arguments in the recent U.S. Supreme Court case challenging admissions policies at the University of Michigan. While listening to these recorded arguments, I learned that public universities have a "compelling interest in diversity" which supersedes simplistic notions of reverse discrimination. Now, because my views have changed, I am forced to alter my classroom grading policies."

"After I compute final averages, I will then implement the new aspect of the grading process which is modeled after existing affirmative action policies at the university. Specifically, I will be computing a class average which I will then compare to the individual performance of all white males enrolled in my classes. All white males who exceed the class average will have points deducted and added to the final averages of women and minorities."

And after reading his article, I am convinced that this would seem fair. (Just kidding).

"I understand that many of you may consider my new position to be unprincipled. Please understand, however, that the university has long abandoned antiquated principles of "fairness" in favor of identity politics. Also understand that my job as a university professor is to prepare you for the real world. After all, no one promised that life would always be fair."

Only those who support affirmative action would claim that someone had.
