I never said URMs don't get a bump for athletics but we are talking about SLACS where the numbers of AA students range from 12%-Amherst to 3% at Tufts as examples.  The axe I have to grind is white folks complain so much about the AA and Latino bump but then fail to own the athletic bump for the same schools where white kids are admitted at greater percentages.  I'll drop my hooks if you drop yours. [/quote]

Tufts isn't a SLAC[/quote]

Ok. So medium sized LAC. The point still stands with Tufts being one of the best examples of students using athletics to gain entry.[/quote]

I'd argue its actually a research university.

Regardless, they are NESCAC and NESCAC is pretty stringent.  (Tufts also has the lowest per athlete spending rate in the NESCAC).

I'm fairly certain that Tufts will take the best LAX players out there they can get - no matter what color his skin.[/quote]

This same sentiment is NOT extended to African American or Latino students.  See other threads on this forum.  [/quote]
