<p>Nobody, whether or not they work in an admissions office, has ever shown evidence of a preferred admissions category (in this case, athletes) where being in that category isn’t a negative statistical predictor of academic performance by all measures.</p>
<p>That’s the “unhelpful generalization”, as you call it, that you are contesting. If you have any information that counters this generalization, and that information can be located, read and evaluated by others, where is it?</p>
<p>What I would call unhelpful is to deflect objective questions about relative performance (is athlete population GPA lower than non-athlete GPA?) with the subjective non-answer that the athletes “perform well”, “can handle the work”, “hold their own” or other unevaluable expressions.</p>

<p>As you said: “check her long history of posts on this, particularly in the subcategory of <em>athletes</em>”. I found all CC posts by AdOfficer containing the word ATHLETE, ATHLETES, ATHLETICS, PLAYER, PLAYERS, or RECRUITED and none of them include the material you claim to have seen. If there are, in fact, repeatedly posted remarks from multiple admissions officers that invalidate my unhelpful statistical assertions, where can they be found and read?</p>
