Florida University to Award Posthumous Degree to Trayvon Martin

Bash someones head against a sidewalk and get plugged for your troubles and you, too, may be eligible for a bachelor of science degree in aeronautical science from Florida Memorial University.

The cynic in me wonders, though, if this might be a sneaky back-door way to pad the affirmative action numbers. Someday soon, some Diversity Officer might actually say something like “sure, our students are 99.9% Non-Person-Of-Color, but a full 15% of our degrees went to POCs.” And all they had to do was hand out some nice, cheap degrees to people who didn’t even go there, and they’ll get the Feds off their backs.
