Here's what I think should be done: split the application into two parts after the university receives it; one part being the one with person information such as name, race, location etc. and the other being the one with the actual application, such as marks, extra circular activities etc. The admissions officers receive the second, to ensure a unbiased decision. Both will have a common unique tracking id, to link them back to each other after the decision is made. This is the system used for marking the PATs (provincial achievement tests) in Alberta, as they are marked by the teacher of the the student and another teacher in the province, to ensure there is no bias.
