(UNDATED) Five University of Wisconsin campuses will host a forum today (1/29) on the UW System�s proposed enrollment policy. The plan emphasizes an applicant�s academic performance, but also looks at factors including a student�s race and extracurricular activities.
UW System Spokesman David Giroux says the policy is similar to those already in place at most UW campuses, as well as at leading colleges nationwide. He says the campuses have come to the same conclusion that no person is a number and that to ascertain whether or not someone will succeed at the University, itââ?¬â?¢s important to look at every bit of information available. He says to understand what a student will bring to the University and how they will enrich the learning environment, officials have to look at the whole person, and ââ?¬Å?go beyond the numbers.ââ?¬Â
