[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do private colleges are now accountable and private schools not? Are they sacred cows?. What is the legal basis to treat two private entities differently? Is it ok to be race neutral in college admissions and not neutral in school admissions ?

Troll if you want but it will say a lot if you don’t provide a logical argument. [/quote]

The legal basis is that they are private institutions. If they are not accepting any gov’t funds, so they are not bounded by the requirements often tied to those funds.

These schools have to comply with laws on student safety, discriminations, and most have to maintain certifications from independent bodies. However, they don’t have to comply with federal or state admissions disclosure requirements.[/quote]

So if there two school candidates with exactly the same academic performance, private schools have the right to chose exclusively on their racial preferences?

If I am a business owner and have the same situation and hire a white person because I like whites, I thought that would be illegal even though I do not receive federal funds.

So I am not sure that private schools have carte Blanche to do whatever they want in admissions.

There is a big distance between making admissions data publicly available and having having carte blanche to do whatever they want. Schools have to follow anti-discrimination laws, as does my employer, but they don’t owe the public this type of detailed information.[/quote]
