<p>**“”"SSfren – assuming diversity is a good thing (exposes students to different perspectives, experiences), are you saying that you would sacrifice diversity admits (lets say 300 admits would not have been admitted on stats alone) just to bring the non-diversity admits from 4700 to 5000?</p>
<p>If the goal of the university is to provide the richest learning environment possible, would you sacrifice diversity for more high stat, undiverse admits?</p>
<p>Would you say that the admissions committees at Harvard, Stanford, etc. should not admit slightly lower statted students in order to reach their diversity objectives? that it is not “fair”?“”“” - DunninLA**</p>
<p>So u’re saying we can sacrifice hardworking people for diversity?
Let’s say u have two people, one asian, and another African-American or Latin-American with the same grades, background, and extra curriculars.
You’d give up the Asian, wouldn’t you? Just because they don’t bring “diversity”. Just because there are already thousands of Asians at UCLA.
Uh, that’s racial discrimination.
Diversity isn’t just about color or race. It’s about the individual and their experiences. Why can’t we see that? Why do have to be forced to look at someone’s skin to see if there’s enough diversity. </p>
<p>Is there no diversity in a room full of white people or a room full of black people or a room full of asian people?</p>
