[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Equity" at work. Trying to achieve "balance" instead of just going with the best candidates.[/quote] What do you do then if your student body is 80% mostly middle class, white or asian, female applicants? I am all for an academic meritocracy, but if all colleges do this, what are the consequences on society for the next generations? The article tries to get at this. I understand we are in a patriarchy. It's hard to accept that we need men in college, even if they don't do as well in school as women. Why would we give them a break if they don't have the best academic profiles as a group, and if the people at the top are mostly all men anyway? But then what do you when hardly any men go on to graduate college, and take menial positions in society? It would be a very interesting experiment, but perhaps not with the result you have in mind.
