<p>do white people have less of a chance to get in cuz a lot of them are there and also they seem to just hang out togetha</p>
<p>It is illegal for schools to discriminate based on race. If your asking if they reject Caucasians because of their ethnicity that I think I'd have to say thats a big, fat NO.
But then again, there are many immoral institutions in America so what do I know?
They claim that race makes no difference on their opinion of acceptance.</p>
<p>but they are also very very prud of their diversity.</p>
<p>i don't think they discrminate against whites, but being white definitely won't help you either.</p>

<p>For a kid who went back to retake the SSAT because he'd gotten 91%, claims he got 99% in January (after claiming he got 2400 on the SAT in December: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/431043-my-score.html#post5044324%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/431043-my-score.html#post5044324</a> ), I know that your questions are contrived and your boasts are intended to bait, but -- even for you -- I have to admire the tortured logic where you believe that admitting lots of white kids suggests that schools are less inclined to admit white kids. Kudos to you.</p>
<p>IF a school receives federal financial assistance, that school may not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. To the extent that the school receives any such federal financial assistance, that also means that the school may not deny admission on the basis of race, color, national origin, or age, or generally, on the basis of sex except with regard to admission to religious undergraduate institutions.</p>
<p>Civil rights laws protecting individuals from discrimination in programs (all activities of an institution) that receive federal funds extend to all state educational agencies, elementary and secondary school systems, colleges and universities, vocational schools, proprietary schools, state vocational rehabilitation agencies, libraries, and museums that receive federal financial assistance. This does not necessarily extend to private boarding schools UNLESS the school or the school's programs or any part of them receive federal financial assistance.</p>
<p>So if a school does NOT receive any federal financial assistance, that school MAY discriminate on the basis of the above mentioned categories.</p>
<p>(Just like you can form a club for only people with curly hair...or white skin...or freckles...or whatever.)</p>
<p>To the best of my knowledge, there are only two 4 year degree granting colleges in the US which do not accept federal funding of any kind. Hillsdale College in Michigan, and I can't think of the other one at this time.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure the other one is Bob Jones University.</p>
<p>Better known as BJ U.</p>
<p>(ok, I'm suspended)</p>
<p>Haha fun is fun--yes, I think you should be suspended :)</p>
<p>I just did a quick search on bob jones university. I didn't realize they actually lost their tax exempt status because they will not allow interracial relationships. Additionally, they've banned gay alumni and threatened to have them arrested if they show up on campus. </p>
<p>Wow. Amazing.</p>
<p>Actually another college that doesn't accept any federal funding is Grove City College, in PA.</p>
<p>i should probably say nothing but the first posting on this thread does not make any sense.</p>
<p>nhfootballer...this is one of those posts that makes me say "please don't feed the animal!"</p>
<p>lol lol :(</p>

<p>Its illegal for a school to discriminate on gender, race, or orientation.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure most schools use AA, which contradicts that.</p>
<p>What is AA, jonathan?</p>
<p>Well, of course they do discriminate on the basis of race and gender. That is how they get the fairly equal balance of males/females and the diversity they desire.</p>
<p>i think discriminate is the wrong word. there has to be a more positive word to use.</p>
<p>crickett: In terms of admissions and offerings (as opposed to, say, employment): Miss Porter's discriminates on the basis of gender; Catholic schools may discriminate on the basis of orientation.</p>
<p>The only policy that schools must adopt to receive their tax exempt status is a policy to not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national or ethnic origin:</p>
<p>SAMPLE NOTICE OF NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICY AS TO STUDENTS</p>
<p>The M School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.</p>
<p>As to AA (Affirmative Action), the IRS takes this position:</p>
<p>A policy of a school that favors racial minority groups with respect to admissions, facilities and programs, and financial assistance is not discrimination on the basis of race when the purpose and effect of this policy is to promote establishing and maintaining the school's nondiscriminatory policy.</p>
<p>Well, you could substitute a euphemism, but even though it is done for the right reasons (creating a balanced, diverse student body), it is still discriminatory. But it has to be, right?</p>
<p>In utopia there is no discrimination. </p>
<p>Unless they discriminate to make sure they don't discriminate.</p>
