This is Corrells study.

Admission Preferences for Minority Students, Athletes, and Legacies at Elite Universities

Line 1 of this study.

Admission to elite colleges and universities in the United States is not now and never has been based solely on academic merit.

Page 2 states:

Although underrepresented minority status may be one of the most conspicuous of the so-called bonus factors, undergraduate admission officers in assembling a first-year class that best meets institutional goals and values routinely give extra weight to numerous other student attributes, including athletic ability, musical talent, rural background, lower socioeconomic status, gender, alumni connections, leadership ability, geography, and unusual life experiences (Fetter, 1995; Freedman, 2003; Zwick, 2002).1

Furthermore.

This article looks more closely at the admission practices of elite universities. Preferences play the largest role at the most academically selective institutions (National Association for College Admission Counseling, 2003). Less selective colleges and universities, by definition, admit almost everyone who applies (Kane, 1998).

Again this kills Corrells whining about discrimination against whites if almost everyone who applies is admitted.

As you read the study Corrells argument dies.


Wow. I don't know what is more damning to your argument.


That you didn't include a link so the whole article could be read,


or that you so obviously cherry picked out small points from a multi page article.


Link please. So we can discuss your excepts in context.


You do WANT that, don't you? LOL!!!
