Background information

This documentary was on last month. It aired about 1-2 weeks before the US Supreme Court handed down their decision.

It gives a really nice overview / history of the admissions policies of UT Austin over the last several decades with respect to race. The program is an hour long.

And no, this documentary does not address NPC recruitment and how the Top 10 rule has had an impact on NPC recruitment. Sorry, carnation.

Yep, petty and spiteful. That's me! You are free to ignore/block my posts.

This is a conversation we have been having in my organizations. Maybe not "unprepared" in the sense that you may be thinking (or maybe you are) but in general I am concerned that any of our organizations will just become echo chambers of middle and upper classes, leaving low-income and first generation college students outside of the conversation.

But I know we've discussed that in some form on GC before.
