A perfect plan to make sure that countries with merit based STEM education programs succeed. This will greatly advantage China, Russia and India. Who will want anything designed built or medical in nature by a graduate of such an American system?

"If you show interest, your name goes in a big hat."

This is plainly a stupid way to "qualify" for higher education.

However, I think they ARE on to something.

We should elect our politicians this way:

If you fail to show interest, your name goes in a big hat. Then do the random selection.

(Hat Tip - Bill Buckley and the phone book.)

Why not just have a lottery system that awards some high school seniors with a prestigious college degree? They could completely avoid all that tough work of studying and taking exams. It seems only fair.

Elite colleges MUST discriminate in favor of minorities, in order to have any significant number in their student population.

Only 1% of blacks score 700 or above on SAT math, versus 9% of whites, 2% of latinos and 35% of Asians

Owww, owww, owwww, I know. How about a lottery like the did in the late 60’s early 70’s for the draft. Of course I had already enlisted before they started that and my number would have been like 87th anyway. LOL! :-}

I am totally in favor of random selection for university admissions on one condition:

—All university presidents and administrators and professors must be randomly selected from the population.
—All members of Congress must be randomly selected from the population.
—All members of college and professional sports teams must be randomly selected from the population.

Self-Loathing Socialist Democrats these days would gladly embrace a yearly stoning of a ‘randomly selected’ white person as portrayed in, ‘The Lottery.’ ;)

Just another way for the really (book) smart to demonstrate that common sense is really not so common.

This is Turley's downside. He loves worthless thought pieces like this, instead of focusing on slicing up his Unconstitutionalists on the Left.

So community college on up through the bottom half of all ranked universities are basically a damn lottery right now. Most state schools offer remedial entry to matriculation. What these pinheads are calling for is the Ivy's to go random, and it will never never never never never never never never never never never happen. For one thing, money, and by that I mean legacy/alumni money; and two, a place like Yale would have to institute a remedial entry/retention plan with 008s and 009s like everyone else lofl.

No, not a chance in hell the top 50 school muttlerize their own population after they've intentionally ruined the rest.

Equality = Equal Opportunity

Equity = Equal Outcome

Randomly selected MDs. What a great idea!

“Winning at life’s lottery” now more than ever, apparently.

Sounds like a great plan, and it should be exactly the same with sports scholarships.

Sign up random applicants to the teams in college sports. What difference could it make?

No excellence. Massive Debt. Exactly how do colleges prepare anyone to contribute to society? All of this is being done for Negroes and wetbacks. Insane.
