<p>Don’t shoot the messenger? I know there’s affirmative action going on in lots of technical schools. I think such action is sometimes necessary; I’ve noticed the severe underrepresentation of minority groups here on campus (as well as women, to a lesser extent). Lots of times it’s due to limited access to resources during high school and I am glad that Mudd is trying to reach out to such students who have weaker backgrounds but the potential to succeed.</p>
