Academia

First, universities and professors need to realize that students are no longer extraordinary but merely average, and have to adjust curricula and academic standards

While I already find this article a bit strange, as I'm not sure of the value of an IQ test as an intelligence indicator, I find this a very particularly strange take. Why should curricula be watered down because (allegedly due to lower IQ) students can no longer keep up?

Anyways totally outside my field here (Electrical Engineering) so feel free to ignore.

1. the IQ test was meant to detect developmental delays. If you score above 100 it doesn't mean much, except that you are good at IQ test. This is why the whole MENSA organization is just people blowing each other.
2. the way universities work (or at least mine did) is that not everyone graduates and the difficulty is based on your peers. All classes are graded on bell curve and you only get good grades if you are better than average. This is why degree has a value. Watering things down will only water down value of the degree.
