What makes you think that wasn't a comedy bit?

That story is dated 2017. This guy has (presumably) already graduated.

The story reminds me a bit of something that happened to me in high
school. I took some shop classes and one day, the teacher of the
machine shop class told us that he'd decided to give us a surprise
test. NOBODY was ready for it and he could see it; even the smartest
guy in our year, Mike, was unprepared. So the teacher said he was going
to give us a break: the test was out of 32 and he said that anyone who
spelled their name correctly would get 1 point. We wrote the test and we
all did dreadfully; I don't think even Mike passed it. I certainly
didn't. But we got a good laugh when one of the guys in the class wrote
only one thing on the test paper: his name. Thirty-two times! (He only
got one point for the name, not the 32 he was hoping for.)

No. I mean the applicant who didn't think he'd get accepted decided to
work the system to his advantage. He didn't take the process seriously
and just made the least amount of effort. I assume he was planning on
telling everybody that his application was rejected and he just
submitted it for fun.

Let's see if he can keep up the act for four years coasting through
school without doing real work but keeping his grades up anyway because
it meets diversity goals.

The article was dated 2017 so I would have to believe he graduated a
couple of years back....

It seemed from the article that he really believed in the whole
Black Lives Matter/social justice movement, at least in 2017. I wonder
if he grew up ideologically after that, perhaps during the St. George
Floyd riots?
