I consider it a very shameful thing that this subject even has to be discussed. Hillsdale and the concept behind it are exactly what BrotherAtticus said: a “color blind sanctum.”

@ hellodocks: We cant really judge the color of your skin (isn’t internet beautiful??? truly a color blind place !!!) I hope you enjoy your time at “highly diversified” NYU. However, if you are a member of any minority group (I truly despise grouping and classifying people), the next time you look at a white guy/girl next to you, remember that there is a good chance you are not as smart/meritorious as he and she. Otherwise, If you are white, remember that the black guy next to you may not be as smart as you, but he is still at NYU. If my skin color was anything other than white (I cant talk in terms of minorities anymore - makes me ill !!!), Hillsdale would be the #1 and only college on my list. Its the only place where I would receive a fair treatment and honest appraisal of my merits.

Plus, am I the only person in this fading republic who thinks that the concept of diversification itself is an example of an effect causing consequences that are the opposite from those intended? So, we “diversify” all the schools and then they all look the same: 80% white, 10% black, 5% asian, 5% others. Now, we could have a college thats 99% white and a college thats 99% black and a college thats 40% asian (thats probably MIT :D) and some that have a sort of a smorgasboard of nationalities and races. The latter looks a lot more diversified to me.
