My pet theory is that if an applicant can't tell that the bill of a baseball cap is meant to face forward to shield one's eyes from the sun, rather than backward to keep rain from one's neck, he doesn't belong in college. I'm confident that it isn't. We need to recruit the very best students we can, students of diverse races, creeds, colors, economic backgrounds, and, yes, genders. The best way we can do this is to articulate our academic program clearly and proudly, to provide financial aid to those who genuinely need it, and to make clear that we value academic achievement. In short, we need to insist that education matters and explain why.
White males remain the most privileged group in American society.
You must be joking.
