Yale Coach Responds to Attack on Recruited Athletes

[OHMomof2]

@prof2dad - whatever Times article JCK is quoting here is incorrect.

75 of the 450 incoming freshman spaces are reserved for recruited athletes identified by coaches, quoting the admissions dean as saying, “athletic recruiting is the biggest form of affirmative action in American higher education, even at schools such as ours.”58 Many of these slots go not to minority or low-income students, however, but to wealthy, suburban, White students who play sports such as squash, sailing, crew, and water polo

Three of those are club sports (crew, water polo, sailing) at Amherst. Squash is a varsity sport with perhaps some admissions preference.
