I did read the same article, @GMTplus7
I am troubled by it, but I think there’s a difference between licensing people representing a profession and admitting students to obtain an undergraduate degree. One category is credentialing, which is an affirmation of qualification; the other is an opportunity for a high-level education, and one can reasonably assume that a diploma will not be granted to a student who hasn’t met graduation requirements. (Nor should a license be given to teachers not passing licensing! Race irrelevant.)
