[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have a problem with legacy preferences or preferences for recruited athletes, but to the extent these preferences have become excuses to perpetuate race based discrimination (affirmative action), I'd say scrap them.  [b]A study of three selective private research universities in the United States [/b]showed the following effects (admissions disadvantage and advantage in terms of SAT points on the old 1600-point scale):

Blacks: +230
Hispanics: +185
Asians: -50
Recruited athletes: +200
Legacies (children of alumni): +160
[/quote]Name the study, please.  That adds more credence to your argument.[/quote]

She clearly said a study "of" three selective private universities. Not "from".[/quote]

Thank you.  The "all the professors are from Princeton" comeback had to be the lamest comeback in DCUM history.  [/quote]WTF does this have to do with colleges worth $55,000 or more?[/quote]
