If you build it will they come - or, how much can a campus change?

This is funny and actually quite jarring and disappointing. It shows that I am out of touch with what colleges are really doing out here.

My alma mater has gone in the other direction. They are actively supportive of affirmative action and are quite intent on creating a diverse pool of applicants. There is a scholarship office which focuses on the students receiving full rides (based on financial need) and making sure they are adjusted, even in the face of quite stark disparities between them and the typical rich, white, male, Catholic face of the university.

Georgetown is a better place now than it was when I was there - and they are STILL building new buildings. You can have both if you want.
