Skull and Bones Member David Leonhardt Attacks The University of Chicago For Lack of Diversity


Skull and Bones member David Leonhardt uses his New York Times column to attack The University of Chicago:
The truth is, Chicago isn’t doing a very good job of attracting the many extremely talented and hard-working disadvantaged teenagers who live in the United States.

As for the ACT and SAT: Abandoning them does not guarantee that a college will become more economically diverse. (That Inside Higher Ed article has a good overview of the research.) Why not? An admissions policy that puts more weight on personal statements and extracurricular activities may actually help affluent students

David Leonhardt of Skull and Bones attacking "diversity". How ironic.......
