Western Washington University wants to be less "white"

Hmmm. Not enough applicants of the non-white, non-male varieties? Not enough qualified applicants of the non-white, non-male varieties?

I'd put a "don't like" on this one for reason of too little information for the whines being heard.

8:12 is on the mark - not enough qualified non-white applicants!

Maybe they need to lower their qualification standards - and this college will become like many others where the mere mention of the name elicits rolled back eyes during the pre-interview resume review.

As I have stated a number of times before - not everyone should go to college...the qualifications in place appear to result in a fair graduation rate with a fair reputation....it ain't broke so quit trying to fix it!

Why don't they start with replacing this guy? That would send a good PC message and maybe take care of the college's problem in record time.

actually they just want the government subsidies that come along with taking anyone who isn't white! That's a lot easier than recruiting the best and the brightest no matter who they are!

With the hundreds of millions school systems are spending to raise the achievement levels of non-whites, maybe someone should ask why that's been such a dismal failure and total waste of taxpayers' money. The issue isn't about college, the issue is about a cultural lack of respect for education at any level.

If my kid was considering this place, I'd help them to achieve their goal by spending my money elsewhere. Problem solved; glad to help!

11:27 - The issue is also about potential and ability.

Too many of them should not have graduated high school...and if the laws protecting them from their own stupidity were to be repealed - they would not survive.....
