Merit: A now undervalued value?

Not so long ago, it would have seemed absurd to describe merit as “undervalued.” Merit has, for time immemorial, been venerated.

Alas, today, demographic factors sit aside merit in allocating taxpayer and non-profit spending as well as in hiring, promotion, and college admissions.

My PsychologyToday.com article today makes the case for why decision-making based on pure merit, of course, fairly considering people of all races, genders, etc, is ultimately wisest.
