Presenting diversity as allowing weaker candidates to be chosen is a trope.
It's about people who are qualified or over qualified who are never considered but should be. At the expense of the rich buying their kids way in..? Maybe.
Still, institutional reputation risked is because of diverse underachievers? Seems like they are doing it to themselves independently.

- j45 2y agoI will take all downvotes for pushing back on the delusion that diversity is somehow less quality candidates. It's only quality candidates that never get a chance. What's one reason why? The contrary evidence to the idea that diversity is bad, when the rich are doing the same instead by using money to get privileged access to university at the expense of qualified students.
