How would some of you feel about the fact that Mich, also gives 20 points to, among others, athletes?.
It is my feeling that everything shoukd be ability based and that race and gender should be deleted from all applications of any kind. Let an applicant stand on his or her own merits with no advantage OR disadvantage attached because of status or accident of birth.
I have been the victim(?) of discrimination on several ocassions in the job market.
Ever heard the term "over-qualified"? Been there. Several times.
I was denied a job once for which I was FULLY qualified, degree AND experience. The reason I was given was that they had lost funding for the position. Two weeks later they hired a female minority who had almost no qualifications or experience. Others had to do her work until they could finally get her trained.
