[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a fortuitous coincidence that exactly when W&M could greatly benefit from helping the downtrodden, the country finds itself with an abundance of ambitious first-generation college-age immigrants whom the progressives in Williamsburg would probably welcome with open arms.

The do. WM is now tuition free for Pell grant students, and these students graduate at a high rate.  They are welcome and supported.

The question is, [b]should WM do soft/hard DEI targets like VT, even at the expense of taking more qualified students[/b]? I have a kid who went through TJ during the admissions criteria change, and am inclined to say no. [/quote]

That's one hell of a weird conspiracy theory you have there. It almost sounds ... *checks notes* ... RACIST.[/quote]

I understood it more along the lines, see what UVA does right in that sense.  They have a higher ethnic diversity than Tech or W&M, while keeping their stats high.  Sure, as the state flagship their visibility is higher and their appeal to a broader group makes it easier.

Try to find the diamonds out there in those groups and get them interested.  They are there.[/quote]
