College Pulse surveyed 2000 college students across the U.S. about several topics, including how they felt about colleges using applicant's race as a factor in admissions. Power Line's Paul Mirengoff reports the findings.
67 percent of college students strongly support “race blind” admissions. Another 18 percent “somewhat support” such admissions. This leaves only 15 percent who oppose race blind admissions. Of that group, only 5 percent strongly oppose them.The survey defines race blind admissions as meaning that “colleges and universities would not be able to take a student’s race or ethnicity into account in their admissions decisions.”Among Blacks surveyed, 75 percent support race blind admissions, either strongly or somewhat. Only 10 percent said they strongly oppose this.
Aren't the young supposed to be progressives? These results question that assumption. Maybe they've figured out they should ignore their profs' political biases.
