The intent to include representatives of historically excluded groups


Is a good one, although, of course, it means that people from traditionally included groups, get excluded because there’s only five nights supply.

Our elite universities are far more culturally, ethnically, economically diverse then they were when I went to college for sure, and even more so than when my kids were in college 15 to 20 years ago. If a University is going to invite someone to attend, it has an obligation to provide a place that is as physically safe and as culturally aware as possible . For everyone.

It does feel like that some universities have may be taken that stewardship a too far. But admission profiles and UVA seem to get higher each year. It’s really hard to see where UVA becoming a lesser institution. Maybe things have been taken to more of an extreme in the Ivy League. I’m not sure however, how making some accommodations for students from a certain background hurts students of other backgrounds.
