I hope our own survey people are reading this. The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion released a survey yesterday indicating that while 85% agree or strongly agree that "living and learning among people of different interests, abilities, gender and racial backgrounds better prepares college students to live and work in society," 64% of non-white respondents opposed or strongly opposed using a student's race "as a factor when schools decide which students to admit to a college or university." I'm quoting directly from the questionnaire, so that any reports you read in the press about this can be judged for presentation of the results. Only 28% of non-white respondents opposed or defintely opposed "using a student�s scores on college entrance exams like the SAT as a factor when schools decide which students to admit to a college or university". Again, the presence of quantitative methods is recognized as breaking down the old-boy's network, and it was happening long before the Civil Rights Act, as did other movements to reduce poverty.
