| This isn’t “new” at all. As an example, see: Vance, JD. Def a DEI student: geographic diversity plus military background. |

| It’s not new at all. Lots of MAGA kids who rail against DEI are completely ignorant to the fact that being from Small Town, Alabama is exactly why they were accepted. They benefited from DEI but think it was just their charm. |

Why do you assume it's the same kids? It's probably the kids who wanted out all along. The rest are happy to go to Clemson or Auburn. |

Admitting more rural kids, I assume. Those kids tend to be white. |

The Small Town and Rural Students (STARS) College Network was founded a few years ago, institutionalizing this focus.

Except it is not DEI and it is based on where they live not who they are are. |

| So, if DC got the small town/rural school award from College Board, should they put it on their application awards section to try to highlight this? Even if they live in a suburb and the magent school happens to be rural? |

It is based on the high school. |

White kids from rural areas do not diversify white kids from urban areas.
That's like people trying to claim economic diversity. It's just new ways to not have to explain why your world is still XX% white. |

Why would any college want rural and small town kids?
They bring nothing. |
