Conservatives complain about "unfair" college admissions because of "affirmative action"; meanwhile, wealthy elites are buying college admissions for their unqualified kids. |

Wanna bet some of the suspects in this case whined about "affirmative action" in college admissions?In any case, my point is that here, the premise of affirmative action is completely defeated by wealthy elites bribing their kids into some of the top schools in America. |

Kid A, an underachieving child of wealthy parents, gets into School B because his parents paid to fix his ACT/SAT scores, or bribed some coach to falsely list them as an "athletic recruit".Kid C, a brilliant minority inner-city child, aces the ACT/SAT on his own, or is the star player in the varsity, but is denied a place in School B because it has already been taken by Kid A, who shouldn't be there at all. But conservatives whine about Kid C "unfairly" getting into School B (on his own merits) because of "affirmative action". That's just shameful. |

If Kid C is qualified without regard to minority or athletic status then I have a problem with the child being shut out. However, in most cases of Affirmative Action, Kid C has lesser scores. |

The whole point of affirmative action is to place ethnicity before merit. If the applicant gets in because of merit, then that's not "affirmative action." |

No, the whole point of affirmative action is to ensure that those with merit aren't refused entry because of their ethnicity or color. |

And then you have people that ARE refused entry because of their ethnicity or color because affirmative action said a less qualified person that was of a different race or ethnicity should get in first, simply because they are that race or ethnicity. How is that fair? |

I did not need to bribe anyone when I attended Passaic County Community College - Paterson Campus a couple years ago. My sole reason for matriculating which means attending said institution of higher learning was simply to knock off the rust with respect to my Geodesic Surveying knowledge so I could prove to you people once and for all that I am the foremost land surveyor on this board bar none or bar some. I took the course so I could learn the recent advancements in technology and procedures in order to engage and defeat Fred G, a highly regarded land surveyor in his own right as well as a professional photographer of some note, in a competition. For reasons I am not at liberty to discuss, said competition never materialized.Some of you may recall one morning, immediately after I worked the "Redeye" from Sea-Tac to Newark, I was in class goofing off because I was acing the weekly exams without even trying. I was turned around in my chair, chewing gum and discreetly blowing bubbles while talking to the student behind me about the Iowa State Cyclone Speed-Option attack out of the offset-I and how K-State will overcome it since it sees that offense in practice every single day. I was called out by the Associate Professor and the ensuing dialogue went along these lines: Teacher (pointing directly at me in the fourth row): "Is there something you'd like to share with the rest of the class?" Me: "No?" Teacher: "Is that a question or answer?" Me: "What?" Teacher: "Is there a problem? Do we have a problem here?" Me: "No." Teacher: "Good. How about you turn around and either chew your gum quietly or spit it out." Me: "I'm sorry and I apologize." Teacher: "I am not asking for an apology. I just need you to respect the lecture." Me: "OK" I actually spit out the gum and out of pure spite stuck it to the underside of the desk that was attached to my chair. It was an admittedly foolish even childish thing for me to do, like something out of junior high school, but I was publicly humiliated and that was my only recourse... it was the only arrow left in my arsenal. By now, it should be readily apparent that in these situations I do not seem to have the sense to think things through. |

And who said that these people are conservatives. I'd be willing to bet that most of those who bought their kids into college are rich liberals with their own form of affirmative action. |

If someone is gained entry through affirmative action, obviously someone else is denied entry. And it not be based on merit, and instead, simply because they "aren't the right race". |

I'd be less bothered about Affirmative Action if it were based on economic background or the educational opportunities that the student had growing up.Instead, affirmative action programs use race/ethnicity as a proxy for economic status rather than actually looking into the student's historical opportunity. My children are African-American. My wife and I have been lucky enough to provide them with a very nice upper-middle class life and they have attended some of the best schools in the US and Europe. As my youngest gets set to apply to universities in the US, it seems very wrong that she could deny a spot for a less-economically advantaged African American student simply by (truthfully) checking a box on her application. With respect to the original story, charge 'em all with whatever they can charge them with -- bribery, racketeering , mail fraud, whatever. It's just one more item that makes me wonder why on earth it makes sense for US Universities run scholarship athletic programs. |

Always found it interesting Affirmative Action garners so much vitrol legacy admissions outrage has no where near the outrage. Out of our last three president s two had the grades to barely qualify for a Community College and the other was the black man...Affirmative Action also benefits women but race is always the first thing brought up. Let's see what the common lightening rod in this issue is🤔 |
