[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an interesting pairing with the news that Emory is tuition free for families making less than $200k (or something in that neighborhood.)[/quote]

?????[/quote]

So what does this mean, they will get UMC white and Asian kids to pay full tuition and also admit first-gen black and brown kids to attend for free? Where does this leave the working class non URMs, middle class, and UMC without enough actual cash?[/quote]
Trump is ending TO, so that will limit the URMs you dont like. [/quote]

You're confused. TO is fine. Affirmative action is not.[/quote]

Hilarious. TO is one of the most racist ways to maintain artificial demographics, i.e., white enrollment at a certain percentage. Claiming to be race-blind and that you're allowing a few token URM is just a way to justify it. If top schools really wanted to let in the best URM, they could have guaranteed 3:2 programs or AA transfers with HBCU or other schools that have high URM numbers. But every new admissions policy is directed toward preventing more Asians from coming in over less qualified whites, and it perpetuates the nasty stereotypes for black, brown, and Asian students. Why are there no pervasive stereotypes about white students?[/quote]
