Editorial: University of Wisconsin-Madison policy right to promote diversity

UW officials are unapologetic about their admissions policy. They don?t have to apologize.

Administrators are trying to cultivate a world-class institution that values diversity because it can lead to a better college experience, it can expose students to different cultures and it can help produce innovative thinkers.

The bottom line is this: When an admission policy is based solely on GPA and test scores, a university loses its richness.
