    In all these threads about the recent Supreme Court ruling against race based admissions, I find it remarkable that it is exclusively people talking about preferential admissions based on race favouring black people, and there has been no mention of schools doing the opposite.

    Were there no schools racistly admitting white applicants in preference over black applicants all else being the same?

    If not, that's something worth celebrating. The culture has come quite far. We shouldn't lose sight of that.

    A Pandora's box has been opened. If we are going to simply require we go by strictly by academic qualifications this leads to potential questions about:

    Parents who donated to the school getting preference
    Wealthy students over more qualified poor students
    Legacy admissions
    Athletes over more qualified academics
    More qualified Athiests, Jews, Muslems applying to Christian schools
    Preference to in state students over more qualified students from another state in public universities
    Charging different tuitions for in state/out of state students
    Denying admissions to qualified students from certain foreign countries (eg.China, Cuba) because of where they come from

    I am sure other questions will arise too that will need to be clarified.

    BRIBERY

    The 2 words I highlighted above are the ONLY ones that matter

    I hope and pray that ends up next on the SC chopping block

    I have no answer to this especially since sports CAN be a profession.
    Why would they want to go to a school that promotes a different faith then they do? Strange. But I still would say the MORE QUALIFIED applicant gets the priority


    So?

    More qualified applicant but no grants for foreigners. They are gonna take that knowledge and go enrich a different country when they leave so at the very least they should be contributing with that tuition money

    Over all, MERIT trumps all

    Other than possibly denying admissions based on place of national origin (which I know of no university that does that), I am not sure how any of these issues you mentioned might flow from this decision. The supreme court didn't rule that colleges have to go strictly by academic qualifications. It just ruled they cannot give all applicants of one race blanket advantage.

    Culture had come quite far. TOO far for the fascists in this Supreme Court. So now they want to take it back to the 50s

    Um......there's a reason they're called athletic scholarships. Schools want them for that ability, but they have to go to school to get the scholarship, hence the term "student athlete". They can't just play a sport and not be enrolled for school hours.

    There are many reasons to give a perspective student preferential treatment for admission to a college -- but skin color should not be one. The libs would go bonkers if the colleges gave preferential treatment to whites or Asians. The libs and the three Supremes who voted for AA showed a disrespect to blacks.

    "All else being the same". That is a key factor. Met an old black man a few days ago. Overall a well spoken, personable guy, an ex-marine. We chatted about 15 minutes while his white wife looked over some things for sale. I didn't see a Nig***, I saw a man that was black. I shook his hand, called him sir, and enjoyed the visit. That's normal. On the other hand, if he came with a chip on his shoulder and thought I owed him because I was white, or displayed the general angry entitled victim attitude- I would have seen something else. Attitude is intensely relevant here. I treat a man that is black with the same respect as a man that is shorter, or taller, or in any way biologically different in appearance- SO LONG AS he doesn't think his race matters, I won't either. If on the other hand, he proves himself to be a racist, he's not welcome in my circle.
