I'm not saying theirs is the right mentality, but I can appreciate their frustration. They're saying, "Hey! A bunch of us right here want to do this! We put in the time! We did our research! Don't look for other people after we showed you were interested! Don't leave!" They're going to take it personally.

You are right. I'm struggling to understand that they don't see how accepting everyone as a bad idea. My high school was big on the entire "everyone who tries gets a position" idea, but I still knew that there were certain criteria that had to be met for membership in most situations. The article also mentioned the low GPA of the PNMs. Wonder how many went through formal and were cut due to grades.
Their frustration is completely understandable.
Question for those who know more about this: Is there a set time limit for colonization? Could they have recruited for longer say into next Fall? Not saying they should have done so, just curious to know more about the process.
