Here is what I want to say to you: at the end of this process, no matter how you change it, no matter how many statements the schools put out about diversity, no matter how many thumbs you put on all the scales to select for a certain kind of student, at the end of this process are self-serving institutions of limitless greed and an army of apparatchiks who are employed only to protect their interests. That’s it. You can’t make college admissions fair by getting rid of the SAT because colleges admissions can’t be “fair.” College admissions exist to serve the schools. Period. End of story. They always have, they always will. College admissions departments functioned as one big anti-Semitic conspiracy for decades because that was in the best interest of the institution. Guys who the schools know will never graduate but who run a 4.5 40 jump the line because admissions serves the institution. Absolute fucking dullards whose parents can pay - and listen, guys, it’s cute that you think legacies are somehow the extent of that dynamic, like they won’t let in the idiot son of a wealthy guy who didn’t go there - get in because admissions serves the institution. Some cornfed doofus from Wyoming with a so-so application gets in over a far more qualified kid from Connecticut because the marketing department gets to say they have students from 44 states in the incoming class instead of 43 that way, because admissions serves the institution. How do you people look at this world and conclude that the problem is the SAT?

Mr. DeBoer is quite a kook, but he’s very observant. That was a great rant.
All the obscenity made clear it is a leftist rant.
Absolute fucking dullards....

Don’t post that here.
Really?
Someone that joined in 2017 tells someone that joined in 2002 what to post and what not to post?
For real?
For the record, I don’t approve of the profanity either, but that is Mr. DeBoer’s fault.
Thanks for taking a positive stand for civility, turf thug.
I agree, valid points, leftist language ... or just kook language.
Calling someone a turf thug isn’t very civil either.
Whatever.
