[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s the word on the new AD in terms of who he favors.  The last 2 coached lax and soccer so it was no surprise who had an edge in admissions.  The new guy is not a coach so I’m hoping some reasonableness returns to the admissions equation??[/quote]

Define "reasonableness".  His agenda seems to be one of "diversity" [/quote]

AA or other forms of diversity?[/quote]

AA not so much Hispanic (very underrepresented), Persian, Indian, or Asian [/quote]

In other words, Smart.... and similar to the kids from past many years.

Joe Viola is a very fine man and, if for some reason your child is not accepted, you can be sure he looked hard at it and he was fair[/quote]

This sounds like STA admin to me, keep up the posting.[/quote]

Nope, just a very satisfied parent who's child got a great education and interaction with Dr Viola was from when he was Lower School Dean[/quote]

His roles are very different now.  Your past interaction with him as Lower School Dean has no bearing on those who have interacted with him as AD.  He was not a good pick for his current role.  He is better suited to his former one.  [/quote]

I think he’s doing a fine job. I’m not sure what your particular issue is. [b]Previous AD is a really nice guy but in regards to being an admissions director he made the school more clubby and Republican than it has been in probably 30 years.[/b] [/quote]

Correct.  His legacy lives on and not in a good way for most of us who are neither clubby nor Republican.  [/quote]
