[quote=Anonymous]So, basically the number of white athletes reflects the percent of whites in the population, and that is a problem. Got it. Additionally, an athlete brings an actually skill to the university and participates in a sport, which is a pretty objective measure, but that should not count in any way towards evaluating a student's application package. But we circle back to the number; the number of white athletes is actually below representation of the percent of whites in the US. So essentially, other races are still being over represented. But hey, whites are the problem. But this is not new information, everyone knows if you are an athlete, you get a boost to get accepted, no matter the school. May even get scholarships all the way up to a full ride. And schools in predominately white areas have a high percent of whites? No duh, just like schools in areas with a larger percent of blacks or any race have more of said race.[/quote]
