There is so much wrong here it’s difficult to pick anything specific. This, however, is particularly disgusting:

“ We also don’t know how many of the small group of non-athlete white American males whom Princeton admitted denounced their white maleness in their “personal statement.” Even if that’s not a prerequisite, it’s probably a good strategy.”

I guess they are building their athletic programs.

It's only a matter of time before Asians "identify" as "white" to get in via new minority set-asides.

funny thing is, when I was working in the 80's a coworker offered to get me in at VSU,

I had dropped out of VCU a few years before, (not eligible for loans or grants, had bought a house and was working full time with a college course load, and newlywed,, )

VSU, as in Virginia State Univerity, a Black University, was looking to increase it's minorities, and white was considered a desireable demographic to have,,

I never did look into it, maybe should have,

but do know another white guy that graduated from there in that time frame in a similar program,,,

Tax their endowment fund to pay for all this shit the Dems want to do...and Harvard’s, and Yale’s, oh hell, ALL the Ivys, and Wellesley and Smith and Barnard. The list is endless and the money substantial

You should have a student ID# of some sort that would be the only frame of reference that they physically have of you. They can then admit based on qualifications and nothing else.

If only...

You mean by the content of one's character rather than the color of one's skin?

But I thought that Princeton could really use a guy like Joel??

Oh they'll get around to that.
The left won't stop until they destroy everything. Marxism is simply institutionalized envy. It doesn't get satisfied or say enough. It just consumes until everything is consumed.

We’re doomed. Voting a certain way, boycotting and complaining in forums isn’t effective. Even so, I will continue to do just that with hope, but with the realization our side loses. Our rights being overridden by people’s feelings and the fear off offending someone? Who ever saw that coming!?!

When my daughter applied To Columbia University she was valedictorian of her graduating high school class and had weighted average above 4.0. Board scores were excellent. We felt very confident about her chances to get in. One of my long time clients is an alumni and past trustee for Columbia so I asked if he could look into her application. He was told that the school had made a decision that they wanted more "international" students even if they were less qualified. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise as she chose Boston College to go to but at the time I was furious.

I had to look it up to make sure, but two of my high school classmates attended and later graduated from Princeton. One is my Ophthalmologist (he was the Valedictorian of our class). The other is a billionaire that, among other things, is the primary owner of the Nashville Soccer Club in the MLS. I went to an all boys prep school in Nashville, and we only had 74 guys in our class. I graduated in '79, and, to be honest, my high school wasn't very "diverse" in '79. Heck, we had 23 of the 74 from our class attend Vanderbilt, and they now rarely accept Nashville area applicants.
It's a different world...
