[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it ok to lower standards for diversity but not for athletes? Which one do you want? Can you not have both? [/quote] I think the issue is the large percentages. If, say, 10% athletes and 10% diversity (broadly defined) categories were admitted with lowered admissions standards, that would leave 80% admitted strictly for academic merit. Far more reasonable. It is hard to justify shutting out so many top academic performers in favor of athletes whose games have pitiful attendance. Maybe you make some exceptions for football and lacrosse, and whatever the two most competitive women's teams are but for squash etc.? Come on.[/quote]
