[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all of you that are okay with legacy preference, are you okay with affirmative action? Same thing but in reverse. [/quote] I am ok with both. [/quote] As long as you are aware that both work against equality and meritocracy. I believe that admittance should be based solely on academic achievement. Geography, race, sports, legacy, music talents...none of those should matter. [/quote] But that is a different system than we have ever had in the US. Academic achievment on its own shows nothing. Show me the kid that also has something else Geography, race, sports, legacy, music talents and I will show you a better person. Also on musical talents -- don't you think that is important to music majors? [/quote]
