One might suppose - and I _DO_ suppose - that the Massachusetts Maritime Academy would be focused on training merchant mariners; ship handlers, for example. These would presumably be able-bodied individuals, because I suspect that very few merchant vessels have substantial accommodations for the disabled.

However, it IS Massachusetts, which was one of the epicenters of the Woke epidemic, so I'm probably wrong in my assumptions.

It would be interesting to know what percentage of the last 2 years graduates of the MMA are occupied in maritime jobs, and to know, a few years down the road, how many current students manage to get maritime jobs.

However, an $80K/year job in Taxachusetts isn't all that lucrative. So perhaps it's not really a _serious_ offer.
