I think some people are idiots.
I mean honestly, what would possess someone to do something like this? There are lots of ways to make more effective points against affirmative action. And this makes some other points that I don't think we even want to get into (like a commentary on the "worth" of people based on their race and sex?).
I'm really surprised that this has been allowed on other college campuses, if what they claim is true. Contrary to popular belief, universities (even state-run ones) can restrict your freedom of speech. And one of the things they're most likely to silence is hate speech and anything that could possibly be misconstrued as, or lead to, hate speech (i.e., experiments like this).
I think they missed their mark with this, if the point they were intending to make was that "affirmative action is bad."
Edited to add: Also, they need to do some research -- because these days white males are more likely to benefit from affirmative action than white females when it comes to college acceptance. (Excluding tech schools like MIT, Cal Tech, etc.)
