How and Why You Diversify Colleges

America’s top colleges and universities should institute an admissions preference for low-income students…

“We need affirmative action admission programs for academically qualified students who lack the money that brings many advantages to the admissions process,” said Cooke Foundation Executive Director Harold O. Levy.

That assumes that many from the 'hood want to attend tony, private colleges. Many don’t.

"Right now our nation is failing to fully develop the brainpower of some of our brightest students, simply because their families have less money than most other families. That’s a waste of talent that hurts not just the students but our nation, as we compete with other countries in the global knowledge economy.

So, having to attend the instate public (gasp!) is “failing” our students? Seriously, is that what JKC implies?
