[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Caltech comes the closest to a true meritocracy. Interestingly, the profs are currently far more concerned with athletic admission boosts than racial, as there’s a high percentage of athletes at a school of 1000.

But even at Caltech I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some differences difference based on sex, given there’s more than double the number of male applicants but the student population is 54% male. So, is that an ok exception? If so, how different from other cases? If not, do we lose something? There has always been at least a case for some form of diversity, but arguing we might as well resort to ditching democratic norms if we can’t agree where to draw the line is like burning down the house when you dislike the paint job.

We don't have to agree on where to draw the line on racial discrimination, the constitution does that for us.[/quote]

And gender discrimination? That's OK? 
[/quote]

I don't think so but maybe.  Gender is not a suspect class but it is a qausi suspect class which means that gender discrimination is subject to intermediate scrutiny rather than strict scrutiny.  [/quote]

we are a nation ruled by laws (or at least we should be) 
Not a nation ruled by quips and snide remarks.[/quote]
