I took Dun’s brief remarks as referring not to AA in admissions but to “attention” of unspecified kinds after admission given to low income students, which I took as including but going beyond the topic of this thread. His linkage of the resentments on that account to struggles that some affluent students blame on low-income ones was especially counter-intuitive. Perhaps I don’t get out enough, but I had not heard of such things at the U of C. Of course there are lots of idiosyncratic individuals in a big school, each full of fleeting angers, passions and occasional descents into self-pity. However, that these attitudes are anything as widespread as Dun appears to be suggesting came as a surprise.
