Sander’s comments and poor research clearly represents the ideology that exists among a number of UCLA faculty and staff and that is the belief that students of color, students from low-income backgrounds, and who are non-traditional are taking the spots from others."</i><br /><br />1. Only someone who hasn't read the research or doesn't understand statistics would call it poor research. And yet he's allowed to get away with it by media and faculty. We have always been at war with Oceania.<br /><br />2.

But now they're protesting Sanders for showing that some students have been granted UCLA spots because of their race, taking away spots from students who had higher grades and test scores. Like all AA advocates, they love AA but "HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST THAT I BENEFITED FROM IT!!!"<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
