@ma_gonzz @JeremyTate41 There are many jobs requiring/preferring any college degree. Graduates are well suited for any of those jobs as the college does a good job forming students' ability to think critically. It lacks in advanced mathematics or sciences so those fields require further study.

A Catholic ice cream shop in Nashville, Katie’s Ice Cream, adorned their building with the Sacred Heart of Jesus flags to mark the month of June

@ttwinstitute @JeremyTate41 The discussions I had there walking between buildings were one of the best parts.

@ma_gonzz @JeremyTate41 To directly answer the question, my fellow alumni are in an amazingly wide range of fields. I know doctors, lawyers, dentists salesmen, investment brokers, priests, educators, a nuclear engineer, small business owners, and many others.

@ma_gonzz @JeremyTate41 The cost is currently about $30,000. With housing and meals, it comes to about $44,000. A high percentage of students receive financial aid through a work study program and grants. The college does a lot to make the education widely accessible.

@rollo_tumasi @JeremyTate41 @the_culturist_ As a personal anecdote, I loved the curriculum. I felt it prepared me well for life and my chosen profession (attorney). I often thought it would be wonderful to go through the program again 10-20 years later.

Very interesting, and how many Democratic voters were there in Starr County yesterday?

The answer is 89.

@OrinKerr I think homes like Monticello clearly indicate this is a non-issue. There were big and small homes. I don't see how it affects the analysis.

@PolitiBunny @AndrewDesiderio She isn't. She just isn't a very good Republican.

@JeremAlph @emuse1955 @StephenKokx No contradiction. That we have freedom to choose is important. That we choose well is also important.

@rsschaefer05 @MrJohnJnr Nope. Tinker requires there be no substantial disruption. A walkout from classes is absolutely a substantial disruption.

@Delgadoajj @theblessedsalt How does your #4 apply to the order not to consecrate bishops?

@DD8gt @Leo9981247802 @JeffAnderson_ It seems we agree that this is race based discrimination against Asians. Jeff Anderson implied it was discrimination against blacks. I am against racial discrimination. I think that you can achieve regardless of race.

@DD8gt @Leo9981247802 @JeffAnderson_ I think there are things other than academics which can be proper considerations (e.g., evidence of character). Discrimination with regard to nationality happens with the national immigration policy. I am not okay with discrimination based on race. If you are, I guess we disagree

@DD8gt @Leo9981247802 @JeffAnderson_ Anything different is discrimination based on those characteristics that don't affect qualifications.

[No Saint Thomas @bmcircle]

@DD8gt @Leo9981247802 @JeffAnderson_ I think most people would like to see a merit based admission system. Those applicants best meet qualifications should be the ones admitted, not just those who meet minimum qualifications and possess other immutable characteristics that do not affect qualifications.

@DD8gt @Leo9981247802 @JeffAnderson_ The statistic from Harmeet Dhillon says that, when of equal merit, black applicants is favored. Combined with Jeff Anderson's statistic, it suggests the black applicants are of lower academic merit on average. The analogy of white NBA players of lower merit being favored applies.
