Three-Year Bachelor's Degrees and DEI Requirements

[NotJoeBiden]

I think the discussion here is what the usefulness of that one extra year of electives is.

I see alot of purpose in educating people beyond just what their specific major in college, but I understand that comes at an additional cost.

The general tone of this thread attacking liberal arts further shows how much people miss the importance of these classes in a well rounded education.

At the end of the day, college is unaffordable and I see any way to increase accessibility and decrease cost as a benefit to everyone. In a future where college is more affordable and people are not overworked, I do think requiring electives is an overall good thing.

This thread has been both about three-year bachelor's and about debating DEI requirements from the original post on down. I retitled the thread to reflect its contents.

I will note that there isn’t really a DEI requirement at colleges.

The linked paper describes DEI by a broader definition than is generally accepted. As I pointed out, it says any critique of white supremacy is classified as DEI. I believe that idea should be critiqued as it is harmful, but it does not necessarily fall under the field of DEI.
