In a new analysis of several polls, Gallup concludes that while Americans support the idea of diversity on college campuses, they “do not like the idea of colleges using race and ethnicity as a factor in decisions on college admissions.”
The pro-diversity claim is that a student body filled with people of myriad backrounds — racially, ethnically, economically, religiously — enriches the higher education experience and produces stronger leaders. And while Americans in general support that goal, they do not support using race as a factor.

I’m old enough to remember when the Post Office was so efficient that it made money and the mail was delivered twice a day. In your local area if you got your letter to the Post Office by 10 in the morning it would be delivered that afternoon. And sorting was done by hand.
Then came Affirmative Action.
They’ll never stop doing it because it’s actually quite lucrative for colleges to have a huge group of freshmen who come in, take out loans, pay for classes, and then drop out. Letting in kids who aren’t academically viable is a cash flow strategy.
Ask them if they like the use of them for hiring. It is being done.
