[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm worried about this story because of how it is going to affect affirmative action. This story, coupled with the lawsuit in Harvard, is all about the 'two tiers' that exist to get into schools--one the regular merit-based application and the other about 'hooks' that can get you in, be it legacy, donations, athletics and yes, affirmative action. Anything that is giving anyone a leg up is now suspect, and if you think affirmative action isn't going to be the 'baby with the bath water' you aren't paying attention. Those who oppose affirmative action are already using this story already in their assault on preferences of any sort. Yea it's fun to watch some rich white people squirm, but longer term things are a bit more dicey.[/quote] No doubt that is what this Justice department is gunning for. [/quote]
