<p>Why are we focusing on “caps” for International students? As I see it here are differing types:</p>
<p>International students/
Private School/public school
rural/inner city
athlete (choose the sport)/ musician/theatre/scientist/activist/
legacy/non legacy
URM/RMs/caucasians</p>
<p>Should we increase one? Decrease another? Let’s add 25 URMs and 10 legacies and 5 intl students --It’s still a zero sum equation at this point since there are still limited slots for each freshman class. So where do the 40 slots come from? The musicians? the Scientists? The average white kids? </p>
<p>It’s an excruciating choosing process, don’t you think? If you were J Brenzel, how would you handle it? To increase one (to meet a need and please a segment of the Yale community) means decreasing another (which will leave a hole and displease another segment) No easy answers, I’d say…</p>
