University of Wisconsin System Regent Danae Davis said today the schoolâ??s new policy of holistic admissions gives the stateâ??s business community students who can succeed in a growing global economy.
She said business leaders want students who have a â??total understanding of diverse cultures and diverse backgroundsâ? and have told the regents the System is not producing that type of talent. The policy, which was approved by the regents at their February meeting, puts more emphasis on non-academic factors than the previous admissions policy and â??achieves consistencyâ? for the entire system, she said.
