Who else opposes race-based affirmative action?

I also don’t think affirmative action is very fair. I’m so glad Cali schools don’t have it.

The OP may have said some things that didn’t make much sense (didn’t express himself well enough), but I agree with the gist of what he’s trying to say. Either he didn’t know any better, or he just got tired. It doesn’t help to have several posts from goingmeta.

“Unfortunately, your failure to address legitimate criticism makes your opinion less-than-credible. Post #27?”

“Students poor enough to receive federal aid would get the same aid elsewhere. If you’re also talking about research funding, see post #12.”

I don’t see how you would get a significantly smaller amount of federal grant aid at other institutions. However, top-rated schools like the Ivies do cover the entire tuition and R&B if you are Pell-eligible. I take it that you aren’t eligible for much federal aid, noimagination?

Ever heard of: [Project on Student Debt: Financial Aid Pledges](http://projectonstudentdebt.org/pc_institution.php)

“Increased yield because prospective students want diversity, greater probability of generating future leaders in an increasingly multicultural world, making up for past wrongs, etc.”

Past wrongs? Are you kidding me? Only a ■■■■■■ would say that.

Need makes sense to me, not a stupid concept like race.
