University of Washington Wants to Get Rid of Merit Admissions

Radicalism lives at the University of Washington:

Beginning this year, the University of Washington will no longer automatically admit top students based on their high-school grades and test scores.

The university is ditching a statewide student-ranking system called the Admissions Index, which it relied on to admit about half its students. The university is also getting rid of an internal system called the "grid," which ranked remaining students on a combination of academic and personal factors.

Instead, university staffers plan to read and review every one of the 16,000 annual freshmen applications to come up with a "holistic" assessment of each candidate. Besides academic performance, they will consider factors such as whether a student has overcome personal or social adversity, their leadership skills and their extracurricular interests.

Throwing up some Marxist rhethoric on an application is now the ticket to admission.The powers that be in academia aren't going to follow the law,they'll find some method to use race anyway they want.Maybe,public education isn't such a good idea.
