All these Ivy League schools will accomplish is they will have to lower their academic standards so significantly in order to accommodate their preferred type of student that their institutions will no longer even be considered high quality in a few years.

You need to re-write this sentence in the past tense. These days, when one sees anything out of these "top-tier" colleges it is immediately given extra scrutiny, because it is presumed flakey unitl proven otherwise.

************************************
As a Manager at a major defense contractor in the ‘80s-’90s, I had to interview job candidates sent to me by the idiots in HR. ...Those from Stanford, Harvard, etc., applying for jobs always had salary requirements above what was being paid to people with 15 years of experience in our discipline that had Supervisory responsibility.

The fools had been hoodwinked by the hype from their schools that they could command top dollar on the job market.

At one time in history, the Ivies may have been considered top notch. That’s no longer true! The schools now care more about getting those huge tuition/housing dollars and grants from the government than they do about any of the students.

"...they defend...race... as a way to bring a diverse mix of perspectives to campus...."

It's time we had a dialog about why diversity is even a positive thing.

Because we all know it is not.

"Diversity" is merely code for "Too Many White People".
