[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that yield rate puts UVA easily within the top 25 of the country.  I do not think UVA exercises yield protection.  It doesn't need to do so.  
And no dog in this fight.  Not an alum and no kid there.  [/quote]

I haven't seen any claims that UVA yield protects--the only public VA u that people make that claim is[b] VT (and there's some evidence for that--but it's more like yield protection due to settings on its enrollment management algorithm rather than someone in admissions actively saying 'this high stats kid isn't going to really come here')

And Tim Sands wants it to yield protect to raise the numbers of first generation, URM and underrepresented minorities to 40% of school population which he's done  The questionis wehtheror not the only polytechnic public school in the commonwealth should be doing that.[/quote]

Tim Sands earned his MS and Ph.D from Berkeley.

It should come as no surprise he is trying to implement extreme left wing  / social justice policies at Virginia Tech.

Why was this radical chosen at VT’s president??[/quote]

Tim Sands alone is not responsible [b]for the  propaganda / shift leftward, at V[/b]T and on other college campuses, but he certainly  backs things like this:

Yes, he is! He made it a mission statement years ago to make VT 40% URM and underserved students by 2022 and he succeeded.  OK.  Why is the ONLY polytechnic PUBLIC school in the Commonwealth engaging in social engineering?  I say let the privates do that.  I want to see my tax dollars at work.[/quote]
