If you read the report, a lot of the student athletes aren't actually athletes, but have been designated as such to overcome poor scores in the admissions process.
In any case, it might be negatively impacting the school's athletic program because real athletes have spots taken by opportunists.
- renewiltord 6y agoInteresting. You accuse that guy of not having read the report but his comment doesn't make sense unless he's aware of the idea described in it. Ironically, if you had read his comment you would not have needed to have said "if you read the report".
- btilly 6y agoIf I hadn't read the report, how could I have known that 1/3 of the students involved were designated as student athletes? My point remains. Once you've opened the door to accepting students for non-academic reasons, you've opened it to accepting them for other non-academic reasons. (In this case I don't care about the impact on "real athletes" because I don't think that athletic programs are important to the university's core mission.)
