Clarke Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 From the American Conservative & the Richard Dawkins foundation on reason & science: Read the chart, read the article, analyze the data. Only CalTech is 100% race neutral. Some oppose affirmative action for African-Americans. Does the data show affirmative action for whites? What is the truth based on evidence? How do the policies of elite colleges pertain to the future of science and technology?

Nova Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 I am of the opinion that there should be no affirmative action policy in any of the top class universities, where academic rigor and intellectual ability is of prime significance. But this is a very simplified approach when the admission process is also influenced by other factors such as connections and $$$ donations.
