[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My college I graduated way back in 1985 went full tilt D&I and international students after I graduated. I was offered chance to speak at a event there back in 2008 and was shocked at the 300 person event of students there was many at most 1-2 white people. And I say 50 percent of students English was a second language. It was a white Catholic College when I went there. It was tons of Muslims and Hindus and Chinese as well as international students Africa all over.

I went to campus one more time around 2018 and same thing. I recently went to an Alumni Event first time ever. It was 99 percent White or Back. But nearly all white Catholic. No one in room under 55. Turns out none of those international or D&I students give back they just want degree and move on.

They still have a strong donor base but will soon disapear. They have a very good basketball team. Wont say school but Chris Mullen type players are no longer on team. And the blonde cheerleaders of 1985 are now overweight international students.        [/quote]

Racist fiction[/quote]

I think there is some truth in having ties to a local area or region, as well as the university, that creates a feeling of belonging and alumni participation.

For international students who just see it as a stepping stone, with no ties to the region, who will leave and never come back, that is all they want.  They want the degree and job placement and have moved on.[/quote]

I agree with you and wholeheartedly support legacy admissions. The poster was just acting racist, spewing about "tons of Muslims and Hindus and Chinese as well as international students Africa all over" which is just racists nonsense. The Chris Mullins reference indicates that they are talking about St. Johns which is only 4% international though it does have a very significant Asian, Hispanic, and African American presence.[/quote]
I'm the child of Caribbean immigrants and I loved being in a melting pot environment at a university that also represented my Catholic faith. That poster should have gone to Notre Dame if they wanted a lily-white Catholic school.[/quote]
