[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep. A known cheater from my children’s school committed to Swarthmore yesterday and, as I told my senior, it’s going to get worse before it gets better. I don’t have Instagram so I only know what she tells me and that is more than enough. [/quote]
Not to single out Swarthmore, because this is typical for top SLACs, but since you did:

Proportion of URMs on Swarthmore sports teams:
Men’s Basketball
3/17
Men’s Tennis
0/15
Men’s Swimming
2/28
Women’s softball 
1/17
Women’s basketball
5/15
Women’s Field Hockey
0/25

I could have gone on, but I was beginning to feel sick to my stomach…

Social justice means nothing at these schools with athletic (white, non-URM) preferences so ingrained for 30% of a freshman class. And certainly not helping “diversity” when the majority of white kids on campus are athletes (Swarthmore is only 32% domestic white).

This doesn’t mean the of majority of the team is white.  For example, the men’s tennis team is more than half South or East Asian.[/quote]
The vast majority of athletes in top D3 SlACs are white. Not. Even. Close. [/quote]
