[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really bothers me when people keep bringing up race. Serious students exist in every race.[/quote]

You'd think. But there is enormous differentiation overall in real life academic performance between white and Asian students and black and Latino students.

The upside is that this generation of 18 year olds is very mixed so old racial patterns don't matter so much. It'd be a dumb way to determine anything. There are millions of 18 year olds that can choose multiple boxes today. Race is becoming less relevant every year.

I get that, but at research-heavy universities, there are plenty of students who are really passionate about learning and debating ideas. Higher education should focus on advancing knowledge, not on social justice in ways that slow intellectual progress or selling brands for the sake of vanity reasons.[/quote]

Private Institutions should be able to focus on their institutional priorities, admitting whomever they desire by whatever criteria they prefer. [/quote]
