[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe Columbia already expanded 15-20% just this last cycle.  Now again?

They want to beat Penn and Cornell for the largest ivy?[/quote]

Penn at about 3000 freshmen is huuuuge and makes a mockery of IVY label.
Cornell worse at about 5000 freshmen!!!!
Add Columbia and pretty soon they will look like state flagships…[/quote]

The Ivy label is a sports league, idiot. How does the size of the class make a mockery of anything? Good for Columbia. Tons of smart, full pay kids getting rejected from these top 20 schools. They should all expand. Some of the Ivy League schools haven’t expanded in 100 years. [/quote]

Selingo's latest book discusses this. Galloway talks about this. Gladwell talks about this. The only way to address the current imbalance in gaining admission to the T25 schools is through expanding enrollment. The acceptance rates at these schools are artificially limited by the lack of growth in available spots. It's a system manipulated by the incumbents at these institutions. It needs to change! Hopefully, other T25 schools will also announce similar plans. If the Trump administration wants to genuinely improve higher education in this country, this should have been the main focus in the pact they tried to get these schools to sign.  [/quote]

Who cares???? 
What's being "manipulated"? Who are the "incumbents"?

Kids who don't go to those schools can go to other schools. How is this Trump's business?
