Exercises in Narcissism

Recruiting more “full-pay” students — those who don’t need financial aid — is seen as a key goal in public higher education, a sector traditionally known for its commitment to access. At public doctoral and master’s institutions, more admissions directors cited the recruitment of full-pay students as a key strategy than cited providing aid for low-income students. (At doctoral institutions, the gap was 47 percent to 40 percent, and at master’s institutions, the gap was 45 percent to 38 percent). The interest in full-pay students is so strong that 10 percent of four-year colleges report that the full-pay students they are admitting have lower grades and test scores than do other admitted applicants.

So, tell me again about affirmative actions & all those unqualified black & brown people stealing spots from more qualified white male students. Go on, let’s hear it. Or can we finally admit that shit was never ever true?

I have heard it said that around 70% of the current first-years at my college are paying full-tuition. Yeah, affirmative action and need-blind tuition are really the reason why you didn’t get accepted.
