<p>Ugh, voiceofreason66, can’t you just move on? It’s sad. You now see what you want to see. You pick an article from the conservative student paper (that I consider the equivalent of the National Review), and instead of praising the faculty member that clearly wants diversity you misconstrue the student’s views as anti-diversity. Why not focus upon and praise the student’s line “diversity at Washington and Lee is important and is definitely something that the school should strive for” or “The value of diversity is significant…”? That would be a positive response to your query of “Is this how students at W&L really feel about diversity?”. But it doesn’t fit with your blinded view.</p>
<p>Just like the bitter dad in the comment section of that article stating “Whites, need not apply”, jaded by his personal experience, I think you are biased by your negative outcome. You are dissuading URM’s from applying to W&L, and I ask if you really think that will help that faculty member’s cited effort at diversity. You dwell on the negatives and dismiss the positives.</p>
<p>You don’t see me on the Alabama forum posting about the girl kicked out this month for her racist snapchat: <a href=“University Of Alabama Sorority Kicks Out Member For Sending Racist Snapchat | HuffPost College”>HuffPost - Breaking News, U.S. and World News | HuffPost; . I am not over there saying “is this how Alabama students feel about diversity?”. I know that would be an unfair statement. </p>
<p>I personally know several W&L students and alums who embrace diversity. </p>
<p>Anyway, to the OP I am sorry to say that I cannot help on the Johnson process as we did not go through it. I can say to all applicants (admissions, Johnson, whatever in life) that “they can’t say yes unless you ask”. </p>
