[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Affirmative action already exists. This just makes it easier. If colleges want more adversity candidates, so be it. If they lower academic standards to achieve those goals then they hit themselves in the reputation. If they don’t lower their standards, then what’s the problem? Who here is fool enough to believe that merit alone still carries the day? This isn’t new. [/quote] This is the travisity[/quote] What does being on a travel volleyball team or having a parent who went to the college have to do with merit? Merit alone never carried the day. It's just upsetting now because the fluff that used to get people in isn't skewing as white or as wealthy anymore. But take heart, most of the kids I know who are killing it in sports or volunteering to build homes in developing countries are still predominantly wealthy white kids. [/quote]
