[quote=Anonymous]One odd thing about any discussion of minorities & admissions is that much of the rhetoric seems to be based on the premise that admissions workers belong to a racist cabal & therefore they need to be forced into giving URMs an even shake. But I’ve never heard anyone claim that admissions workers are any different from the soft-hearted people in other college departments. In fact, since they deal with a wider cross-section of the general public than most college workers, they are are probably among the quickest to tire of entitled students & their pushy parents, and become eager to give the humble masses fair treatment. If all that is true, the goal should be to give everyone a fair chance, not trying to figure out ways to ensure identity is still a key criterion. —Parent of 2 URM kids[/quote]
