No matter what...she deserves the job.

Recently my mother applied for a job at APU--to work in the graduate program. My mom is a psychologist, and a woman who got straight "A"s throughout her bachelors, masters, and doctorate programs. Not only that, but she then went on to apply to and be accepted at the leading, best paying, competitive internship and fellowship at Patton State Hospital. She now has her own practice where she treats patients part time here in town while she continues to work at Patton. Her experience and expertise would be of the utmost value to APU.

However, when she applied my mother was told, "You know, you're perfect for the job, but you just might be too white."

TOO WHITE?!

I never knew there was such a thing as too white? What does that even mean? I'll tell you what it means--it means that APU has finally reached the point where they are so focused on being diverse that they fail to hire the men and women who are applying with above and beyond the criteria for application. APU is turning away people that are more than qualified to fill the job--men and women that would bring new and wonderful experience and education to students because they simply don't fit the look.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is called reverse discrimination and I can not believe that a school with the moral and academic standards such as APU has would commit such a foul feaxpau.

Students and teachers should rise up and make a stand for their education and school. Discrimination will not ever be permissible or understandable.
