In that it uses racism to make things "more fair"? I'd wager yes.
Competency should be the main factor in getting into a college. Not skin color.
School's focus is academics, not diversity.
And when one race dominates to the detriment of others... for say... 500 years up to 50 years ago.... then wat? Sorry if actually accomplishing things and having goals as a nation and working between races is hard, i feel like a victim too... :roll:
Is that why they give out preferences to legacy students and atheletes?
For the academics?
So use racism to favor the less competent over the more competent?
What do you mean by legacy student?
School is for learning. Not sports. Not politics. Not diversity.
It is for learning important topics like science and math.
Applicants who are excepted because their parents went to the school. It's done to encourage the parents to donate money to the school where, you know, they focus on "academics" :lol:
Actually, many are for making money. And govts give them money for many reasons, not just learning.
Stating your beliefs as facts do not make your beliefs magically transform into facts
It's not racism theres no conception of a superior race or a would be caste system in this case. It's strategic redistribution of education opportunities to break a construct of a caste system that has existed for 500 years. Perspective please if we actually want to address this?
School is meant for learning.
Not for donating money. Not to be a business. Etc.
School is meant for learning academic issues.
You are wrong on all counts.
Again, expressing your beliefs as facts does not magically transform your beliefs into facts. Repeating them doesn't work the magic either
private universities make money. they make money teaching students.
their ultimate goal is to make money, as they are a business.
My belief is that the focus of school is the teaching of academic issues.

[h=3]col·legeNoun/ˈkälij/
[/h]1. An educational institution or establishment, in particular.
2. One providing higher education or specialized professional or vocational training.
1. I'm being told that the focus of such academic institutions isn't meant for learning academic issues. That's a bit confusing to me and so I wonder what you think about this.
2. The other point is whether or not it is right for universities to choose students based on race rather than competence.
