At the nation’s elite colleges. This article, while long, exposes the cancer at the heart of diversity programs in the Ivy League.
Here’s the money graf:
But what Espenshade and Radford found in regard to what they call “career-oriented activities” was truly shocking even to this hardened veteran of the campus ideological and cultural wars. Participation in such Red State activities as high school ROTC, 4-H clubs, or the Future Farmers of America was found to reduce very substantially a student’s chances of gaining admission to the competitive private colleges in the NSCE database on an all-other-things-considered basis. The admissions disadvantage was greatest for those in leadership positions in these activities or those winning honors and awards. “Being an officer or winning awards” for such career-oriented activities as junior ROTC, 4-H, or Future Farmers of America, say Espenshade and Radford, “has a significantly negative association with admission outcomes at highly selective institutions.” Excelling in these activities “is associated with 60 or 65 percent lower odds of admission.”
It’s disgusting even if it’s a little bit true. The left-wing bias in university admissions makes a total mockery of the idea of actual diversity. What we have instead is selection based on the right skin color.
Without seeing the Obamessiah’s college transcripts, we’ll never know if he was an affirmative action choice or not. Left-wing social engineering is one of the most poisonous and pernicious elements extant in modern culture, and it must be exposed at every turn. The health of this country is at stake.
