Sergeant Exam Information
Everyone knows the test is coming.
What they don't know is how fucked up the Department is going to make this thing.
Here's Part One (from an inside source):
What they don't know is how fucked up the Department is going to make this thing.
Here's Part One (from an inside source):
- The FOP has been trying for the last year to get the city to put a percentage value on part 1 of the sergeants exam.. 30-50 percent is the national standard and best practice.
I have learned that the city will respond this week with a big FU to all coppers studying, by placing a zero value on part 1. This will be stated in the candidate prep guide, that it’s just a pass/fail which is so wrong. If I get a 95 and some moron gets a 56, we both go to part 2.
56 was the sergeants exam pass point last time.
Not surprising. Remember, you're only as good as the dumbest bosses kid/buddy/pin cushion, etc. If they need someone to pass Part One, then they're going to lower the bar as far as they need to. Look at the promotional lists we had a few years ago where some people were skipping over 2,000 spots to get promoted. "Best and the Brightest" right? "Earned not Given"? Don't make us laugh.
Part Two though...Part Two is a nightmare:
Part Two though...Part Two is a nightmare:
- ...the city will announce this week or next that officers who pass part 1 and go on to part 2 will test over a 5 day period in 2020 and take 5 different oral tests! Yes that’s correct, the idiots plan to give 5 different tests.
This Department can't run day-to-day operations without a Guide Dog. And they're planning on drafting five different versions of the test? Over five days? Are they insane?

ROTFLMAO! You've done it again, SCC!
I'm really disappointed about the next test, should this information be correct. Too many opportunities for fuckery.
God, I hate Chicago democrats.
rb
My guess is each officer will take ONE oral test...they passing population from part one will be split into 5 groups,
Suzie taking part two on Monday won't be able to tell Sally scheduled for part two on thursday what to expect.
HAHAHA 5 DIFFERENT ORAL'S '-)) will this be like the IAD/OPS interviews where 1 guy interviews you while the other listens in from adifferent room then either calls/emails the 1st guy to ask other questions or they switch off, taking turns quizzing you until you get it right. Man, I may need to bring some lube and a comfortable kneeling pad
All ginned up and nowhere to go
ALWAYS BEEN LEGIT 100%. WE ALL KNOW IT. STOP SPREADING PROPAGANDA. Wheeeeeezeeeee knows “wut time it beeh.
It's all legit kid!
Who would want this job after all now a days. So much BS and corruption. 2 years and a wake up can't wait. "Give me them keys kid and just sit there and be quiet".
Wow, Groot is really making her mark on the department. Social Justice Warrior Supreme. I really won't say what I believe is happening, but I do believe they are trying to rid as many of "me" as possible to make way for a new day. But that wouldn't happen, now would it? I mean that might be discrimination and we all know how bad that is, right? Oh, sou say there are certain people we can discriminate against and get away with it? Oh my, how things have changed. It took quite a while for my generation and my parents generation to put a stop to those bad practices and this is how you repay us, by discriminating against my children? Who knew you'd be so ungrateful? I did, but I'm a cynic. No good deed goes unpunished. You know it's true.
Oh! Oh! Oh! Will there be scenario's at the academy as part of the part II 5 day test
let's see, you have an oral with BLM, COPA, Community Activists, Fake Rev's/Church's. and the ACLU? Did I miss anybody
Part I pass/fail makes sense if the City is only giving 2 - 3 months of offical study time.
The 5 different tests would, in theory, reduce the likelihood of cheating. Also, it would allow for more officers to be on patrol. Gosh. the possibilities are endless
Target run, I'll need a new box of shiny crayons, glue stick, craft scissors, and construction paper, and.. and..
Oral? That’s what they used before “merit”. So now the city and department can promote people by “merit” and as a result of “oral exams”. They get two bullshit ways to promote the connected and unqualified? Hello FOP! Are you there? No fucking way in hell should this be allowed. DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN FOP!
Overview
With a long and notable career in government, Maggie has a wealth of experience in internal investigations, compliance programs, sexual harassment issues in the workplace, and ethics training.
In 2015, she was appointed Executive Inspector General for the Agencies of the Illinois Governor, an independent executive branch state agency that ensures accountability across state government, nine state public universities, and four Chicago-area regional transportation boards.
Maggie’s experience spans both Springfield, Ill., and Washington, D.C., on a range of legal issues. Before becoming Executive Inspector General, she was the Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois for more than five years. Prior to that, she spent five years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) in the Criminal Division, Financial Crimes, and Special Prosecution Section investigating and prosecuting complex and sensitive matters. Maggie also served as chief of staff and chief legal counsel to U.S. Senator Peter Fitzgerald, and was an AUSA in the Criminal Division for the Southern District of West Virginia. She began her career with the U.S. Senate as the Investigative Counsel for the Committee on Government Affairs.
During her tenure as Executive Inspector General, Maggie was chair of the Illinois Health Care Fraud Elimination Task Force, a comprehensive effort to prevent and eliminate health care fraud, waste, and abuse in state-administered health care programs. In addition to her practice, Maggie remains active in several community service and pro bono legal initiatives.
In 2019, Maggie was appointed as the independent monitor to oversee implementation of the multi-year consent decree for the Chicago Police Department (CPD).
In 2018, Maggie was tapped by the Board of Education of the City of Chicago to lead an independent review of the school district’s policies and procedures following the Chicago Tribune’s investigation that revealed cases where students were sexually abused by Chicago Public School (CPS) employees.
Also in 2018, Maggie was handpicked by multiple state legislators to investigate sexual harassment within all departments of the Office of the Speaker of the House in Illinois.
The fix is in boys and girls what more has to be said. Bernstein gets rich, coppers try to do the right thing, and the City runs another legit test only to be aghast when it’s protocol is questioned. You would think that at some point in time the City would run out of the annotated ones thru attrition.
Test companies are used to testing departments that consist of 30 to 100 candidates and in that case oral exams are okay; but when you have a department with over 2,000 candidates oral exams are clusters. Part one should be scored and the passing score should be announced prior to the exam. Please email the consent decree monitor. With the amount of shootings occurring in this city, we don’t have time to tie the department down for 5 days.
one word: LAWSUITS
FLOP also recently told the Unit Reps that one of the contract proposals tendered to the Shitty involved having a union representative present during the oral portion of promotional exams.
And lowering “merit” promotions to 16%.
And limiting merit bumps to one promotion.
I’m sure the Shitty attorneys and MLAS laughed their balls off when handed these pipe dreams.
Clout still rules the CPD. This is a ploy to let diversity rule the day.
TO: Part I pass/fail makes sense if the City is only giving 2 - 3 months of offical study time.
Ummm, hate to break the news to you, but all the most recent tests (since '00) have been pass/fail for part I. I also believe that the minimum time the department has to notify is 30 days, but typically at least 90 is given.
Why not make part 2 to the test you discussing why you are qualified and how many arrests you have made in your career. Along with awards.
106am, serious question. who is maggie? The only one I know *and hate) is maggie daley, who cost us tons of money with her bullshit ideas. Sounds like I need to hate another maggie.
I can’t believe anyone would even consider testing for this position. After seeing the desk Sgt in 008 getting fucked for approving a TRR in the VanDyke incident and he wasn’t even on scene, why would anyone want this stress!? You can take you pay bump and shove it up your ass. This is by far the absolute worst job on this job.
The last test I took I received a 56 without studying. Only reason I took it was in hopes of me saving some exempts kid or mom from a burning building and being made. Oh well.
Uhh, the five days is to do oral boards for the anticipated several thousand passing candidates. Hone your presentation skills people...
........ If I get a 95 and some moron gets a 56, we both go to part 2.
If you get 95 and some moron with clout gets 56 then the moron gets the sgt stripes!!
I am betting all the clout babies are in day 5 and its oral interview will consist of two questions. 1.Who is your clout? 2. List your campaign contributions.
Confucius say:
You know the fix is in when you show up for the test and some candidates have already sewn their sgt stripes on their shirt!
Shame on you SCC. Guide dogs have too much integrity to allow themselves to be used so by the empty holster suckholes running CPD.
In what world is 56 a passing grade? Obviously targeting a specific person for a merit spot. You would think it was the new friendlier grading to get more bodies in swat. Their new uniform is going be a clown costume. To match the leadership there.
Off topic........ OT cut. Since then numbers calls of frog dealing an loitering and two robbery’s at Chicago and state. Nice groot.
In addition to Chicago's particular long-standing vice of promoting cronyism, there is another more nation-wide reason why tests for hiring and promotions within police and fire departments have been dumbed down to the point of being a random lottery at best. The reason is fear of federal civil rights lawsuits. On all tests of cognitive ability -- loosely defined as the ability to reason, to solve unfamiliar problems, to make logical probabalistic inferences, etc. -- white candidates outscore black candidate by about one standard deviation, which (for those who majored in in something other than math) means that about 84% of whites will outscore the average black score. If selection of new hires and promotions goes to those with the highest scores, nearly all hires and promotions will go to white candiates. In the age of PC, this is a no-no. Even if Chicago were to prohibit cheating and cronyism, the CPD would never be permitted to simply chose the highest scoring candidates for jobs and promotions. The conversion of such exams into pointless exercises (whose real purpose to produce a predetermined ratio of racial diversity) of course opens the door to all kinds of other forms of favoritism that are at heart anti-meritocratic and harm public safety. One wonders why departments still go through with the charade of exams nowadays. They would save money and spare high-scoring candidates a lot of grief if they ditched the exams and replaced them with raffles.
If there's five different versions of the oral test (so officer's don't "share" the oral questions) given over a five day period (since there's going to be a few thousand officers to test), what prevents officers from talking about the material that was on their version of the oral test on their day? This gives officers who are waiting to take the test an advantage on what to expect or even answer since the scenarios may be different but the overall answer component may be similar. Also, what if day 1,2, 3 had "easier" to answer scenarios vs day 4 & 5. Since the testing material was not identical, how can they even grade/ score, and assign you a rank number?
example: A person in testing group Day 5 scores higher than you because he was able to answer his scenario questions with ease since he had a heads up with what to expect by conferring with other POs who took the oral test and also his questions were not as challenging as your test from day 1. Is that a law suit since I was graded and ranked on the same EXACT material?
Heck, one can even post the scenario questions after taking the test on this blog to give everyone a heads up on what to expect. This thing is all messed. Why even study then when I can fake it to make it.
I was lucky enough to get promoted to the D Unit with zero clout. I’m in 011 all the time listening to these fucking boneheads on Zone Ten chase and stop dude for everything under the sun. I’m never taking another promotional exam for the rest of my career. No way I’m gonna get dragged into some bullshit with these moron hard chargers. Keep that fuckin promotion, I am not at all interested.
Damn...if only we were in contract negotiations and could address this in writing...
Just remember to say, "notify the watch commander" as part of your answer.
the Chicago fire Department has promotional testing specifics in their contract.
Maybe if the 5th floor couldn't dangle post employment jobs like CTA or Cook County with a 2nd pension after only 10 years in front of your FOP officers they might represent YOUR interests for a change?
While your at it, get rid of the college requirement, so us old guys have a chance
It's pretty sad when most people I've talked to no longer even want a promotion in this dept.....they're looking for a way out, not up. Shows how pathetic this place is.
I’m so not impressed with the recent batch of Sgts being made off this current list. Imagine the knuckleheads being made off of this awful experiment! Why in the world would anyone subject themselves to 5-6 days of torture?!? For a $12K bump? Yeah, the pension increase is nice but to what end? Midnights, or even afternoons in some festering hellhole where there is no civility and law and order has no chance; generationally! Get to a unit and make some OT to compensate for the Sgt bump and keep your sanity and integrity. Don’t sell out to this tragic and current failure of a department. It’s run by morons appointed by even bigger ones. Sad but true.
Apparently nobody posting was around in the 80's. The Lieutenants Exam back then was a perfect example of using Oral Interviews for the second part of the Test, and hiring a "Legit" outside Agency to monitor. Along with outside "Independent Reviewers". First of all the Legit Outside Agency was Arthur Andersen, which eventually went out of business for cooking the books of clients. They could be made to produce whatever results a client desired. As a matter of fact, after taking the written and receiving a grade, a few weeks later they sent you a letter telling you they made a mistake and gave you a DIFFERENT GRADE, USUALLY LOWER THAN THE FIRST. I am not making this up, ask anyone who took the test back then and did not get promoted. Then, there was an Oral interview, where bosses from other Departments sat in on the interview with one boss from Chicago. HOWEVER, THE RESULT WAS BASED UPON HAVING BEEN GIVEN THE ANSWER IN ADVANCE. THOSE WHO KNEW THE SECRET PHRASE: "NOTIFY THE WATCH COMMANDER', A PHRASE FOUND NOWHERE IN THE STUDY MATERIAL; THOSE IN THE KNOW WERE PROMOTED! Lawsuits followed, but to no avail. Those of us who lived in those times watched incompetent "Hacks" retire with Exempt pensions. NOTHING in "Shitcaga" is legit, or to be trusted. Even the Church, is paying out tens of millions for its corrupt priests! Why would we expect our politicians to be any better? Stay Safe and Strong. Baby "G"
Funny how quickly we grow up.
We go from "go fish" to "hit me."
There will be 5 days of testing. Not everyone will go all 5 days. They will break the whole group into 5 groups. You will be able to sign up for which day you want but they will fill up with a set number of slots. Each day will have different version of questions so they can’t be told to someone the next day.
from the Trip: "....For violent "L" crimes, police made an arrest in 1 of every 4 cases in 2015. Last year, it was 1 in 6...."
Come on -we NEED more clouted supervisors who can't pass a test to lead units--such as Mass Transit-noone being held accountable there for lack of police work and excess of on duty shopping and waste of resources (take home car for admin dolly--for years??????)
The only good that came out of the cheating was that the noble exempts tied to the cheaters all fled, thinking that they would get caught since they were so shameless and stupid in leaving a paper trail. Only a bought hack like Ferguson "couldn't find evidence of cheating ", I guess the emails discussing the test questions dont qualify. I hope Sgt Prah's lawsuit rips them all a new asshole. Probably not since the appointed judicial branch is purposefully selected to make sure difficult cases like this are handled appropriately so no politicians get caught up. I get why the eternal victim class votes democratic, but why would anyone else?
Don’t forget to swipe IN and OUT lol
Maybe they could add a physical exam and bring the Red Man scenario out of retirement?
I’ve lost all interest. Even if you do make Sarge, do you really want to be attempting to lead the troops through the land of bureaucracy? This Department has no spine or rudder.
Will the Oral Component be performed standing, sitting....or kneeling?
Might just be best if they had a Big Wheel- like Drew Carey has on the Price is Right- and give us each a spin. It would be fast, easy and ultimately more fair.
Good Luck- you are going to need it.
And everyone is just hearing about this now? BS. The right people must have already got the tip off. Why bother take this crap?
its a joke. If you have no tattoos and are clean shaven you need not apply. The community wants diversity, not wholesomeness.
This can be a real disaster.
How can we be sure that tone, inflection and accents do not play into scoring? Only the right answers should count regardless of how you sound.
"Notify the watch commander!!!"
Only very old Sgts & Lts will remember, right Northside?

Old man Potter in Bedford Falls as head of the draft board was more fair.
21st Century TaskForce on steroids. Get some.
It’s tough to not take part in the exam process even if it’s just for a day out of the District.
That carefully crafted 5-Part interview process will weed out anyone with a noncommittal attitude to community and/or social justice endeavors. Modeled after the long standing CookCo assistant states attorney hiring process.
Trying to get to one of those inconveniently located interviews, on your own time, should be just as challenging...and no guns signs will be posted.
Please keep chasing the feral for Merit Package numbers to increase your odds.

What good is an oral test when you have clout idiots listening to your answers
5 days!!! So this test will be like taking a Law Exam but only worse? That detective exam was around 12 hours by itself.
I knew a guy that didn't even take the test and he became sgt. for "alittle while"
One would think that with this bulllshittt Consent Decree that transparency would be the rule of the day.
Obviously, one would be wrong. Pass/Fail on a Supervisory test is ridiculous. Set a score and adhere to it.
Most tests such as these have a 70+ as passing....and tests are graded BEFORE you leave for the day.
Rank by score order. And if oral exams are being extended over 5 days, with different monitors/scorers on
different days, then all exams must be video recorded. Orals are subjective in nature.
The fix is already in with merit percentage bumps - so the ones who have no clout should at least get fairness.
(To go down 2000 spots on a test to "merit" a promotion getter is ridiculous. Can't answer questions correctly on
a test, how do you think they have the knowledge to lead others correctly??)
OT
Over the summer I was on a free form vacation in the
Catskills, you know, road trip style. So I see a sign one
afternoon advertising a small group Summer Theatre
production of Hamilton. Little did I know that Rahm
Emanuel was the star. Yes, he had a secret ambition to
be an actor. Imagine that! Yeah, he was O.K., even quite
good at times. But he put his own spin on it. Instead of the
Revolutionary War garb, Rahm was dressed up as Moses.
It was like a late-60s production of 'Hair.'
Anyway it was 20 bucks and I thought I got value for the money.
No photos were allowed, but I will forever have those images in
my mind. I'm thinking to myself that if he could have only got
along with people like he did on that stage, Chicago would be
a better place. Rahm, we hardly knew ye!
To quote Seinfeld, “It will all be supervised.”
Since we know they want all their own people in every spot, why not handle ALL promotions like Captain (SES) is handled? Go ahead submit your resume, and keep your fingers crossed. No studying involved, everyone's a cheat...They won, I just don't care anymore.
Hey Doc, check my eye while you're at it....
What passes for employment these days is astounding and
sickening at the same time. Google: Biden Red Eye. Seems
like Joe was on live TV and had a blood vessel break and his
left eye got red. (Most of us have had this, even in our younger
years). Speculation ranged from a stroke, being on blood thinners,
exhaustion, ect. Hey folks, the guy is 76 years old and has the
most extensive resume of all the Democrats. Love him or hate
him, what do you expect at age 76? He doesn't need the money.
The Democrats just want to win back the presidency. They don't
care who the donkey is (NO pun intended).
But this media onslaught is terrifying. EVERY damn outlet has a
comment on it. Everybody steals each other's story and runs with
it. We're 13 months out and I think Biden will wind up like Lincoln
on his 'Death Train.' Before he got put into the ground, almost
everyone had a little piece of him. They even went after him in
the grave. Enough already!

Or should that be thrust my vote???
Alot of officers being ripped off in study classes.
multiple choice should count for 50% and graded on sight , list in rank order within a week . If the allow merit , merit should be picked in rank order and every person that passed exam should be considered .
CPD should not be able to reach further than number 500 on the list , until 500 are promoted off list .
I scored 95% on the first part of detective exam around year 2000. That’s the one that people were discussing answers during breaks and the city threw out the scores and it was immediately a pass fail. Disappointing for sure. Before that the Police issued an order that stated all future promotional exams, all test takers must have a 4 years college degree. They gave a 3-4 year time for all to comply. I had my hopes up then. Guess what, 4 years later it was discovered that all 4 year degree cops were disproportionately of European roots. So that plan was shitcanned. Disappointed again. As I type this, this Irish guy is not bitter (was at time). Retired now and enjoying the weed they wouldn’t let me enjoy on weekends off. Go Bears!
100-150 will still come from the last list. Classes starting as soon as October into late November.
There is currently a rumor that there is a possibility the remaining promotions will be in rank order.
The city received a notice from attorneys regarding potential issues with actually getting 32% merit. Because from one of the previous promotions, one was dropped because they did not have the education requirement but the merit number was never adjusted. So rather then stopping the classes from moving forward due to litigation, they may do rank order.
75 sergeants next month
Yea, that’s fair alright. Like an oral test isn’t subjective to say the least.
I'm not studying. I already have the Answers...
I don't know how CPD does it but oral 'tests' where I worked (the official ones, not the unofficial ones after working hours that certain officers used to get promoted) were highly subjective as opposed to the written tests. If that's the same in Chicago, it's almost as if they're trying to make the entire testing process independent of any real standards! Seems like a terrible idea. Unless, of course, you want to be able to promote whomever you want without worrying about qualifications.

Lawsuits? I was one of many on the loosing end of the exam scam lawsuits. The city went after us for "costs" after we lost in court. I ended up paying up a few hundred dollars as my share in addition to the front money for the initial suit.

Totally dysfunctional department. The pass/ fail nonsense is just to get more of the chosen ones made: so that they have a bigger pool for the exempts.

who can forget sgt wideload of 025 now (lt dd) yeah these promotions are all legit just ask her clout eddie burke
Would you allow your president of the United States to be merit? Get rid of merit all together. The cancer of the department.
Police supervisors settle for 10.5% raise over 5 years?? Why?? Lightfoot offered the teachers 16% over 5 years. For teachers! We are risking our fucking lives everyday and we aren’t worth as much as a teacher. This is crap and a slap in the face. How could the unions approve this.

Remember its all legit. Work,study,work a side job,take care of family =waist of time to be promoted in this city. If 56 is passing to be a supervisor how did the 56% person even get on the job. These test are like Vegas,its a gamble,place your bets and sorry you lose because you had no one going for you.I came on in 70 and between the fucking on the tests and the courts,Judge Marshall,a waist of time. Made detective and called it a day. Lots of overtime and freedom. Not much stress either. But good luck to the legit guys and hope it works out for you.
Is the mayors detail officer that was stripped for a domestic back to work already? I hear yes...what about the internal investigation?
100-150 will still come from the last list. Classes starting as soon as October into late November.
There is currently a rumor that there is a possibility the remaining promotions will be in rank order.
The city received a notice from attorneys regarding potential issues with actually getting 32% merit. Because from one of the previous promotions, one was dropped because they did not have the education requirement but the merit number was never adjusted. So rather then stopping the classes from moving forward due to litigation, they may do rank order.

That’s just a rumor. City is not giving up merit. Don’t see a legal challenge coming as merit has been around for decades. One would have been made already and if one as it lost
"Baby G" @ 7:47 AM:
First of all, anyone interested in the original ExamScam in which I was the point man, click on above blue-colored "ExamScam per NorthSide" for relevant information on the worst police promotional scandal in U.S. history. Be sure to click on the link to the "ExamScam Movie" which appeared on NBC Channel 5 with Peter "Juda$" Karl.
To correct "Baby G", no one outside of the corrupt City of Chicago "monitored the integrity" (LOL) of the third and final EIGHTY PERCENT weight of the rigged "oral interview" portion of the "process". In pairs, ALL of the fourteen "raters" were CPD exempt$ holding the rank$ of commander or deputy chief. No outside agencies were involved.
The evidence available incontrovertibly proved that four of the eight "answers" of the 80% "oral" were rigged, two of them ("notify the watch commander") by none other than then Area 4 Deputy Chief LeRoy "The Father of ExamScam" MARTIN.
Question: What do ExamScam and the current so-called "merit" promotions have in common?
Answer: With absolutely no transparency or accountability whatsoever, politically "owned" exempt$ "rated" the candidate$.
There are even more sordid facts to clarify. However, I refuse to post such outrageous truths on a public blog site. In conclusion, when you're dealing with the City Of Chicago and almost all local mainstream media, make no mistake. You're dealing with hypocritical, lying, low-life muthafuckas.

Tip.. there's a guy that runs a Facebook page called 19th Ward news/easy to find with many followers. He ran story from your website about Sheriff Dart allowing inmates to go to the children's museum on a field trip. he just posted that he was threatened by Associates of Dart that the story was not true and subsequently removed the post avoiding a slander suit. However, Chuck goudie is running a segment on it tonight. apparently once again Dart is threatening people who post the truth.

No friggin’ way.
One (1) more class of 15-20 off this list, and that is it.
Time to light Paul Bilotta’s car on fire!
The most heavily weighted question will instruct the officer to explain the difference between “reply” and “reply all” that is the number one issue with sergeants....f’n idiots.

The 5 different tests would, in theory, reduce the likelihood of cheating. Also, it would allow for more officers to be on patrol. Gosh. the possibilities are endless

You can’t have 5 different tests. Everyone has to take the same test. Easy lawsuit to get the results thrown out if they give different questions.
Merit has been around for a little over ten years. Not decades. The last class of sergeants that was all off the list and no merit was 1997.
22 years. Time flys.
Lake county has a shitty jury pool also. Granted not as bad as Cook county.
Just saw iteam report on dart the fart taking t inmates on a field trip costing taxpayers 8000.00. The fart said they were all non-violent but admitted one was in for agg robbery. You belive this shit.
So now it will be 100% merit!
SCC, no print on NIU’s own three semester wonder, DPW? He couldn’t make it at a University where an 18 is a high score, left after three semesters(19 years old), and shot through all those exams exempt the kindergarten test of keeping one’s hands to themselves.
Another “Blow Hard” Hack that cant spell.

What were results? 96 percent of the 114 top scorers, eligible for immediate promotion, were white. There were two hispanics in the top group and three blacks, two of whom were women.

This just put Bernstein out of business.

Shouldn’t have cut those math classes
