[quote=Anonymous]"5. Finally, the article raises the question of what our broader conversation should be surrounding privilege and who has access to college, if the real beneficiaries of affirmative action are males?" The NYT never addresses what the real issue is - resource hoarding of the 1%, the truly "privileged". I thought that series of articles today in the NYT was a total distraction. What we need is more equitable taxation of wealth in addition to a truly revolutionary change in which our society thinks about poor people and addressing their needs, but I'm not holding my breath for the NYT to write about that. As long as the 1% controls the conversation and baits us with internecine conflict amongst ourselves, nothing will change. Admissions at a group of selective colleges will barely move the needle.[/quote]
