"...students at Texas A&M should be admitted as individuals, on personal merit -- and no other basis." - Texas A&M University President Robert Gates

It sucks that "diversity" has turned into a bad word. Good for the Aggies, I'm sure the lawsuit papers are in the mail. :Smug:

You're right. When people think of "diversity", they immediately think "ethnicity".

I'm not sure if you folks in other states or countries heard about what the Young Conservatives of Texas at A&M did. They had a bake sale and sold cookies for $1 to Asians, 75 cents to whites, 25 cents to Hispanics and 10 cents to blacks. The sliding scale was designed to protest racial preferences by selling cookies at different prices to different ethnic groups.

And to boot, the athletic director at A&M tried to blame the football team's poor season on conservative students, which basically implies this director thinks the majority of better athletes are minorities.
