State Rep. Steve Nass is complaining that a plan by the University of Wisconsin System to hold forums around the state explaining a proposed new admissions policy really amounts to several rallies supporting the proposal.
The system-wide policy – already in effect at the UW-Madison – would require a comprehensive, individualized review of student applicants including factors such as race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, experience and prior military service in addition to grades and test scores. Academics would still be the most important factor, officials have stressed.
….”It’s about having a pep rally in favor of race-based admissions,” Nass, R-Whitewater, alleged in a written statement.
