You’re welcome. I wish more conservatives were aware of this research. There really is nothing further to be said about “affirmative action” in higher education: admission of underqualified students practically eliminates their possibility of earning a college degree.

To criticize me for asking that community service be a qualifier shows you don’t grasp that there are 5x the applicants as the seats.

Service to your community, likely gratis, shows something about your character, love of country.

Our Vets these days are in the service because they joined, teens who help at hospitals, nursing homes, libraries, are just like volunteer Firemen doing age appropriate jobs.

Someone has to decide on the merits who gets into the college. I say pick the person who cares, and gets their ass in gear when they see something in the community they can do that isn’t getting done.
