To prove I'm not just blindly defending my school, keep in mind that I pointed out in the previous post that they seriously need to improve on their control of academics and get these kids into viable majors and declared.
However, I don't think you're proving anything at Stanford by only accepting the Collins twins of the world, while the rest of your campus is white.
