Degrees Don’t Equal Brains
In random fuckwittery we find that it doesn’t matter if your undergraduate experience consists of three years face down in a pool of vomit outside a nightclub hundreds of miles from your gloriously unaware parents – you’re still entitled to a top degree. Cos it’s yer Yuman Right, innit?
Apparently:
A Belfast graduate has taken his university to court after they awarded him a 2:2 degree [in electrical engineering]
Andrew Croskery, from County Down, applied for a judicial review of the grade he received from Queen’s University in Belfast. Mr Croskery claimed if he had received better supervision he would have obtained a 2:1, the High Court was told on Monday.
Like mummy holding his hand perhaps. Or someone keeping the dope dealer at arms length. Breaking the barman’s arms possibly.
His barrister claimed he had been denied a right to appeal against his classification because he had already graduated from Queen’s in the summer. Tony McGleenan argued that the university’s stance was not compliant with his client’s human rights. “It is obviously an important case for the applicant. He avers his employment prospects have been jeopardised… in this competitive job market,” he said.
Should have stayed off the Guinness in the mornings, sunshine. His ‘employment prospects‘ might have been better if he’d got off his arse and worked harder.
Honestly, the difference between a 2:2 and a 2:1 degree wouldn’t influence TheEye on whether to employ the man. The difference between taking it like a man or sueing for “human rights infringements” would be a big interview swing factor though.
They cry and whine about everything. Over here they have this DREAM thing. ILLEGAL aliens can stay here and go to college univ. for FREE and get all kinds of grants. It’s just a ploy to up the democRATS voting ranks.
All these entitlement minded twats want everything easy and handed to them. If they don’t get what they want, then it’s sue, and cause a ruckus.
I’ve read about the DREAM Act. It’s just amnesty by another name – and with RINOs letting you down too.
And if Congress won’t buckle under, your courts do. Tragic.

I would have been happy with a 2-2 but I only got drunk at night so
2222222222222222222222-1
it was. hahahaha
Pikey silk on the case no doubts. Friggin bout ya
I might add I am a graduate of this University. In my day, getting a 2.2 meant going into one’s study with a glass of whiskey and a loaded revolver. 😀
To be fair, I knew that you’d graduated from there which was a bit of the reason for posting it 😀
Borrowing the Mess Webley has unfortunately gone out of fashion, to be replaced by lawyers it seems. Such is the way of today’s world.
Nice one! I bet the only getting drunk at night rule didn’t survive results day though!
Serve him right if the university found some obscure reason to withhold his degree entirely.
No doubt all potential employers of electrical engineers will have noted the name of Andrew Croskery =-X .
