College adds sexual orientation to application -- 'to increase diversity'...

A new incentive to lie on your school admission paper work.

I'd put down I was black too, you don't have the right to discriminate against me just because I look white. That's holding the black man down and keeping me from getting my black scholarships.

So I'd be the white, black gay guy. Call me a liar and I'll sue your ass.

 

I think it is GREAT that they want more diversity on those campuses.

 

That means people will be admitted based on sexual preference. So much for performance and qualification.

 

There are people of many stripes, who will be fine students. It is good that a schools is concerned about the actual makeup of its student body.

 

Coyotes deserve special consideration too.

 

Homosexual human beings, are not "Coyotes". So, whatever you're talking about means about zilch here.

 

They also offer scholarships to students who are members of UCC congregations, so hey if you don't pass the gay test you can always lie about that to get in.

 

That doesn't make any sense. If the intention is to make all things even, surely they could get a close to perfect distribution of all demographics by admitting totally at random.

 

Hmmm. Is there some reason that scholarships should not go to whom the person or party granting them says?

Maybe I am missing what it is I am supposed to be outraged over. Why should anyone care who someone else gives their money to? there are scholarships for folks of all different types, white, black, Latino.

 

It's a private university. They can admit whomever they want.

 

so it would be OK to have an all white heterosexual college?

 

A private college? Sure. I see no issue with it.

 

Then you also should have no problems with the Boy Scouts and their Christian philosophy.

 

As long as they receive government money and use of government facilities they have no business discriminating.

 

The white heterosexual college would take government loan and grant money and you don't have a problem with that so whats the difference?

 

Your premise is fictional. I am not sure of what your point is,

 

All colleges both public and private take government money so if it's ok for them to discriminate based on sex, like a heterosexual white only college, then it's ok for the Boy Scouts to discriminate pro-Christian and also receive government money just like the private colleges.

 

They do? Where do you get these gems from? By all means link me to that info.

 

They take student loans and student grants.

This doesn't account for all the research grants their professors can get.

 

Student loans equate to colleges taking federal funds? That seems to be a hyper partisan stretch to me.

 

What part of "Federally Subsidized" don't you understand?

 

The part where student loans equate to a college being federally subsidized.

 

The money goes to the college.

http://www.direct.ed.gov/

Funding education, paying for education, giving money to the college that came from the federal government.

Oh, and your completly ignoring Pell grants and other grants from the Federal government that goes directly to the school to pay for a students education.

 

The money is from an individual and the government entering into a contract. your premise is fairly ridiculous.

 

Money the college is making from the federal government to teach the kids.
