They are being admitted for their economic value not fears of being mau maued.

It is easy to explain how a kid with a 400 SAT, that can't read, can't do elementary math is not admitted to the university.

shrug

Affirmative action is a product from our guilty past.

You either find students who can meet the requirements or you lower the requirements and let ALL those who meet them in.

Too long football schools have tried to have it both ways.

Once again, if an institution is going to hold the general student population to certain standards, then it must hold it's athletes to the same standards.

You guys bitch to high heaven if the fire department lowers its standards to get more "female" firefighters on the job. This is no different.
