UW-Platteville chancellor says idea that minority students can’t compete is ‘nonsense’

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s remarks in a college admissions case that students of color may not be able to compete at selective universities are “just nonsense,” says UW-Platteville Chancellor Dennis Shields. “Justice Scalia is wholly uninformed about the amount of talent that has flowed through elite universities that included people of color who went on to have distinguished careers,” Shields said Monday.
