I don't support racial "quotas" of any sort. But do we not have "quotas" right now for sports---X number of slots go to athletes? And of those, X number go to females? And does the music program not have X number of scholarships?

But none of this is based upon race. Don't you see the difference?

Ohhh, yeah, right. One is based on SEX. Sure, I see the difference. Another is based on purely athletic ability. Another purely on musical ability.

By the way, if teaching students to operate in the "real world" is a goal of a university (I'm not saying it is---I have a different view, but it DOES appear to be the goal of most major universities), would it not be an educational requirement that students interact with people of different backgrounds and ethnicities? Just curious.
