Powerful Argument
Diatribe sends me a link to a opinion piece looking at racial discrimination in undergraduate college admissions. He outlines a very strong and convincing argument. Readers who have advocated for using the government to force companies to provide more information about their product should happily support the arguments put forth in this piece.

I have no argument against universities having to offer full disclosure on admission demographics. However, my guess is that why they don’t is that they are afraid that people will claim that there isn’t ENOUGH diversity.

I assure you that will not be the problem.

Yeah, full disclosure always gives a hope of correcting stupid processes. Of course, it can create other ones, but the consumer is probably still ussually best served by disclosure.

Who is the ‘consumer’? The student?
And really, if the consumer is dumb enough to try to purchase a product that they can’t use (pass), wouldn’t the libertarian perspective be that they deserve what they get?
