I think the point is, why do people question the decision makers when they think racial diversity is important, but say they know what they're doing when they think having athletes is important.  It's hypocrisy to question one decision and then give deference to the other.  [/quote]

Fine.  But who does that exactly?

Colleges get to value [u]whatever they want[/u] is the point.[/quote]

They take Federal dollars, and therefore the public (whose dollars they are receiving) should have some input into their admissions process and criteria.[/quote]

Sigh... the old "federal dollars" canard.

They deliver services for what they get (research, educations, etc.), they are not on the federal dole.  Your argument is invalid.[/quote]

Colleges get free labor via the federal work study program. Kids get jobs, government pays, college gets no cost workers. Colleges also count those funds as part of any financial aid package they offer. It would be far more efficient just to give students the funds via a federal grant. [/quote]
