Why is this a political issue at all?

BooMan and I guess the entire left want public policy to control who gets into what schools, as well as the moral and political content of what is taught, said, or even thought there.

Elite Universities Shouldn't Be Just for Elites

Galloping rather than creeping, their totalitarianism is.

Steve M. makes a valid point and I would like to add that academic survival, let alone anything like success, in college is especially hard for anyone with the misfortune to actually live on campus, and hardest for those living in a freshman dorm.

Animal House was tame, industrious, and quiet as a library by comparison.

Still, Scalia also makes a valid point generally recognized by all but the "reality based," who are known to inhabit their own PC fantasy land.

If you intentionally recruit people who are not up to the minimal standards of ability everybody else meets those people will have a much harder time and a lower success rate.
