[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amherst is not what it once was.  Simply put, it is a shell of its former self.  Over the last decade, they have gone out of their way to alienate themselves from the alumni and families who significantly contributed academically and financially to the institution over multiple generations.  Amherst has chosen politics over a balanced approach to the demands of administering an institution whose relevance is truly in question.

The article is nothing more than a pushback to the current political environment, following the "woke" unwind.  I am sure that those who choose to "contextualize their background" receive even easier treatment than any athlete admits.  Let us not cast any stones from our glass houses.[/quote]

Sorry the fist-on-the-scale legacy preference was removed for your family. Boo freaking hoo. Maybe encourage your kids to focus on academics rather than coasting on privilege. My top-stats unhooked kid loves Amherst, doesn't care about athletics one way or the other. [/quote]

I mean, at least athletes work hard.[/quote]
