[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]

I also attended St. John's University. I can confirm it's not a white utopia, which is apparently triggering for you.  :roll: [/quote]

Not so much the White. But Catholic, hence a lot of Whites as Italians and Irish are all Catholic. Very few Catholics go the school compared to past.

Other thing back in day from 1977 to 1986 (my older siblings and young sibling went there) you actually had rich kids from Garden City, Manhasset, Rockville Centre type neighborhoods attend. Today those parents who graduated St. John’s don’t send their kids to the school, I did not send my kids. I have no intention of donating to them. And I have undergrad and grad degree from them. Once the Vitamin Water billionaire stops writing them seven figure checks they will be in trouble. A school Ronald Regan visited who called it the next Harvard in 1985 - 41 years later is milking international students full tuition to give discounts to poor students. Except international students don’t donate and the selection of poor kids who barely spoke English with B averages from third tier high schools in Brooklyn, Queens are not going to be next Bill Gates donating billions

Georgetown and Villanova did not follow this stupid strategy.

This is why legacy is good in a way. It keeps quality up.
