[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 7679, member: 195"] In 2007, the SF Chronicle published an article entitled, "[B][SIZE=3]HIGHER STANDARDS / Stanford teams finding it's hard to win if athletes can't get in.[/SIZE][/B]" Let's look at Stanford's football records before and after that article came out: 2002 2-9 (1-7) 2003 4-7 (2-6) 2004 4-7 (2-6) 2005 5-6 (4-4) 2006 1-11 (1-8) 2007 4-8 (3-6) 2008 5-7 (4-5) 2009 8-5 (6-3) 2010 12-1 (8-1) 2011 11-2 (8-1) 2012 12-2 (8-1) Funny right about the time Stanford's talking about lowering entrance requirements for football players, they start having more successful teams. On top of that, Stanford's Dean of Admissions starting in 2005 has been Richard Shaw who held the same position at the University of Michigan from 1988 to 1993, when he found a way to admit Chris Webber. As a private school, Stanford doesn't have to report its admission standards. So, there's no telling what's going on for sure, but I don't think it takes a rocket scientist (ahem) to figure out. In the past several months there's been all kinds of news about how many "legacy" admissions Stanford has brought in, that is for people who are admitted based on other benefit to the university regardless of entrance requirements. Also, the suggestion that the difference between most liberal arts majors and one of GT's majors in terms of success rate is only an excuse seems to me to be ignorant. The liberal arts often rely on subjective assessments rather than objective assessments. [/QUOTE]
