BTW, I am with sugarandspice in wondering how a study like the one UCLA/Loyola conducted would be possible? And no matter what kind of questions were asked on the survey or whatever method they used, I would question the validity until I saw demographics, and sample pool. All that aside, I really don't think the affect diversity has on someone or hundreds of someone's can be tangibly measured.
Rudey can you please cite the study from UCLA so I can take a gander? Thanks.

I guess we would have to define "work." If work means to allow the same students entrance into programs that they are currently able to enter when given special preferences, possibly not. Allowing anyone preferred placement into a program is what makes the current system not work. A colorblind system would remove benefits that some students currently receive over others. Other than that, an ability-based system would work. A colorblind system would reduce prejudice. The current system is anything but prejudice free. Do you really believe that certain individuals cannot compete through ability alone?
