I guess that's why it didn't make sense to me. What is the purpose of quota anyway? To keep the playing field as even as possible, I suppose?
I wasn't able to find an answer. Can someone please enlighten me with what the purpose of a quota might be?

As a capitalist, I always saw it as those that were more desirable, for whatever reason based on campus, activities, people, national, costs, house, whatever, would be the ones people want to join. They take as many as they want - they may not want all those who are interested.

Those that are less desirable, for whatever reason, or that are more desirable to the individualist, might be smaller, but they will learn what they have to do to be economically feasible, or they go away.

I don't understand what benefit any type of quota system brings to a campus. I hope someone will enlighten me.
