Dallas College, the old DCCCD, seems to be imploding, the Dallas Observer reports. (Long read) The DO says it's not all due to the consolidation, which was needed in some ways (I had no idea that in the old days, each of the seven campuses was independently accredited), but that the consolidation, COVID and other factors have triggered a clusterfuck. Insiders, both faculty and students, cite other incompetence they say COVID and digital learning accelerated, including "participation trophy" grading and instruction.
It's sad. With several years in Lancaster, I knew a few faculty and staff at Cedar Valley. To see this today? Especially when the participation trophy grading, if true, hurts minority students the most?
