Let me explain the process. Special admission students are those who, under normal circumstances, do not qualify for admission because they lack the academic credentials.
Colleges receive far more applications than then they can possibly accommodate.
Whenever you accept a student under a special admission, you must deny a seat to a regular admission student. This means a special admission student is far more likely to be black. To profess otherwise is a simple denial of the facts. The extent to which this occurs varies from school to school, but it is ubiquitous. We do a disservice to both the school and the student when we use these special admissions.
