[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think anyone applying to college should be given a number. Just an SAT score, classes taken, GPA and extra activities. Nothing else. No name, no state, no HS name. Nothing.

Let's see what happens. [/quote]

Agree. Let their abilities speak for them, not race. Affirmative action is very flawed but if we didn't have it then there would probably be a lot less women in the workforce.[/quote]

You mean a lot less white women.  White women owe a lot to affirmative action, though they'd like to forget that.

Also, be careful what you wish for. Once upon a time, numbers were all that mattered. The result was that Jews and Asians completely dominated, while "regular" white people fell behind. "Holistic" admissions was invented to reduce the numbers of Jews and Asians, and that is exactly the effect it had. You see something similar happening now with Africans completely dominating African Americans in admissions because Africans have better test scores than even whites. African Americans are starting to complain the way that whites once did, and some African American professors want new "holistic" factors used in choosing which blacks to admit.[/quote]
