Dumbing Down For Diversity
Attorney General Gale Norton has told Colorado higher education officials that they cannot grant admission based on race. The quota crew is in a tizzy. No one quoted in Fawn Germer’s July 11 story in the Rocky Mountain News agreed with Norton’s position. Not, of course, that Colorado schools really sort applicants by race. No, they just use race as one of many factors in admission. Says Tillie Trujillo, associate director of admissions at CSU, “Are there decisions based solely on a person being diverse…absolutely not.”
