DURHAM, N.C. -- Despite her boarding-school education and a personal
tutor, Maude Bunn's SAT scores weren't high enough for a typical
student to earn admission to Duke University.
But Ms. Bunn had something else going for her -- coffeemakers. Her
Bunn forebears built a fortune on them and, with Duke hoping to woo
her wealthy parents as donors, she was admitted.

So it's ok to admit unqualified students because of the color of their
skin, but it's not ok to admit unqualified students because of the color
of their money?

Let's assume that their SAT scores and other evaluations were equal. Let's
assume that the university wants to give a few "unqualified" students the
opportunity to bloom in college as many do. (Remember, a lot of "qualified"
students wilt in college because they've topped out and can't compete in the
next higher league.)
One applicant has had every disadvantage, but has somehow done pretty well --
although not quite good enough.
The other applicant has had every advantage, and has still not done quite good
enough.
Which one do you think has the "reserve capacity" and motivation to succeed?
Which one would you admit?
Well, leaving aside your desire for a new library or whatever.

Having dark skin doesn't necessarily mean that the person has had every
disadvantage. It's amazingly racist to think that "disadvantaged" is
synonymous to "black".

There's no way to tell. It may be that both will "bloom" in college.

One of the main justifications of affirmative action in academics is that
it provides a diverse campus, which is supposedly necessary for a proper
education. So, I would imagine that letting in unqualified students just to
improve the educational experience of other students is ok.
And, last time I checked, a new library does indeed improve the educational
experience of other students.

Correct. That's why I didn't make any such link.
Which one do you think has the "reserve capacity" and motivation to
succeed?
There's no way to tell. It may be that both will "bloom" in college.
Statistically, which is more likely to make it?
Which one would you admit?
Well, leaving aside your desire for a new library or whatever.
One of the main justifications of affirmative action in academics is that
it provides a diverse campus, which is supposedly necessary for a proper
education.
It sure helps to reduce preconceptions in those who actually get to meet
varieties of people they've never been exposed to.
(My freshman year, I roomed with a Kansas farm girl who was 1500 miles from
home, her previous maximum having been about 50 -- and that had been only once.
She'd gone to one, very small elementary school with other farm kids like
herself. One junior high -- same thing. One high school which was a bit bigger
and had some "townies," but still just one class of people. I'd lived in
half-a-dozen large American cities, been to probably eight or nine different
schools, all of which were racially and economically mixed, and had travelled
extensively. She was a devout fundie, believed everyone else was too, and knew
absolutely NOTHING about her own religion or anyone elses. She was as foreign
to me as I was to her. That year was painful at times, but very good for both
of us.)
So, I would imagine that letting in unqualified students just to
improve the educational experience of other students is ok.
To some degree, yes. The aim is to pick the ones that are underrated, that
probably have what it takes to succeed.

Goodies to those who can pay for them. These legacy students must have
smarts in the first place to be let in. Would you want an unqualified
idiot dropping out and cause the university to look bad?

they could suck a buck or two out of it.
The best one was when they were conned by some hispanic/latin type who had
them convinced he was a member of the DeRothschilde family. He got wined,
dined,
handed an education etc., until he skipped with the funds of a charitable
fund he was allowed to manage.
Then there was the time they redid an entire floor of the hospital to
accomodate some sheik........

DURHAM, N.C. -- Despite her boarding-school education and a personal
tutor, Maude Bunn's SAT scores weren't high enough for a typical
student to earn admission to Duke University.
But Ms. Bunn had something else going for her -- coffeemakers. Her
Bunn forebears built a fortune on them and, with Duke hoping to woo
her wealthy parents as donors, she was admitted.
Why not. Worked wonders for the Bushes when they were trying to put
the somewhat dim young George through Yale and Harvard.

Yeah, not exactly a recent discovery that the kids of rich, prominent
alums have several admission "check marks" in their favor. But what if
Yale and Harvard were held accountable? Look at the damage done to the
world by giving a particular Yale and Harvard grad favored admission and
gentlemen's Cs. Would he be where he is if he graduated from Houston
Community College?
On second thought, forget it. We'd probably have President Jeb.

Education was a pet project of Barbara Bush. A passion bourne of
personal experience I wonder?

Depressing thought of the day. Bush III
