[quote=Anonymous]Actually no, I have no problem with diversity -- I am in favor of it.  However, I don't think it is appropriate for a school to actively recruit students from abroad to either boost their coffers, their entrance exam scores overall, or their number of applications.

Given that some of us did not even [i]know[/i] what a dental dam [i]is[/i] prior to this discussion, I hardly see how you can now criticize [i]me[/i] for finding it a bit odd that they are being pushed on the students so heavily.

I think the school is declining overall.  My conclusion is based on:  Declining entrance examination scores and GPAs; an overwhelming acceptance rate; a huge effort to recruit more applications abroad, and the opinions of two professors that love the school, have been there for decades, are extremely progressive, and have no motive for saying what they did other than that they truly believe it, after seeing it up close and personal for many years.

If you have any interest in having any credibility when you set out to debate points made by someone else, I suggest that you be intellectually honest in your disagreement, rather than try to distort the arguments made by another in an attempt to make them look silly.

I find it very ironic that as you search for schools that will provide your child with a vibrant education full of diverse people with different opinions, you would try to belittle my opinions the way you have.[/quote]
