It’s a reasonable point of view—that universities perform a social good by admitting these racists, because the university experience might reform them. I guess that would mean that they should seek out more racists, and recruit them—because then they would be reforming more people, and helping society even more. But at some point you might get too many racists, and the normal students would be overburdened in their task of helping to expose them to different ideas. It will be difficult for the admissions committees to find the right balance: you want just the right number of racists.
