Yup. Shit got pretty bad under Covid as it was. But I can see that happening next, although I doubt blacks are going to be overlooked... I suppose all the attacks on DEI and trying to get universities and companies to change all their hiring and teaching policies is part of it already.
alot of them turned to trump over covid. University have thier own problems way before the pandemic, covid just worsened it. low job prospects, causing enrollment issues(at least for state universities in cali), example for stem not much resources going to expanding lab works for bio students, which is the most important part of the degree anyways, bad advice from overworked professors that are reluctant to "advise"students. university problems are a symptom of a much larger problem.(trump+ covid definitely unraveled it more). the state uni i went to sources quite alot of students from a nearby CCollege(which decided that to make thier core classes equivalent to what berkely UC wanted, and you can see the fallout of that directive, if you were to take a equivalent course at any other state, you wont face the same difficulty as of that CCollege courses(mostly stem, and english)
