1 in 4 college admissions officers report outside pressure

The Chicago Tribune reports:

About a quarter of college and university admissions officers experience pressure from senior-level administrators, trustees and donors to admit some applicants, according to a first-of-its-kind survey of admissions leaders.

The national survey, from the online publication Inside Higher Ed, found that among all four-year colleges, 27.8 percent of admissions officials said they received pressure from senior administrators, and 23.6 percent experienced pressure from trustees and donors. A greater share of private university officials said they were subject to pressure compared with their public university counterparts.
