[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all this hand-wringing about diversity, look at a sports roster, especially in a women’s sport, at an Ivy/NESCAC/Centennial/UAA/Patriotic League school. Zero diversity. [/quote]

This is true, but I think people are missing [b]the real purpose of DEI/holistic admissions[/b] which is to defend white seats at these institutions from Asians. It’s a deflection. Sure, a few extra percentage points of the student body may go to black students. But the real goal is to make sure 50-75 percent of all seats don’t go to Asian students, which could be the case if SAT and GPA were the only or the dominant criteria. DEI paradigms shift the focus to black and Hispanic access while preserving systems that advantage whites over Asians (sports and legacy). However, increasingly, Asians are doing well in sports, at least ones that don’t require being physically large. [/quote]

How would anyone know how every college defines "the real purpose" of holistic admission [/quote]
