[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not fair that schools recruit club swim athletes when club swim costs thousands of dollars a year, either.[/quote] The more you insert human decision-making into the process, the less fair it gets, in many ways. Race-based preferences, lower academic requirements for athletes, legacy admissions, admissions for the children of big financial donors etc. Some of these preferences are legal, others not. But, they all make the process more subjective and less objective. Determining admission purely on GPA and test scores would be, objectively, the most fair process, because it would eliminate human bias.[/quote] Last I checked, the high school teachers who give the grades were human beings.
