Affirmative action at WSU!

This blog is about affirmative action at Washington State University regarding acceptance into the university. This blog will discuss the admissions process at WSU and how the race of a potential student can impact their application. This issue is something that not only affects potential and current Washington State University students, but it also affects all college students at public institutions in the United States. Why should a person’s race matter when our country prides ourselves on rewarding individuals based on merit? If race plays a greater role than our own achievements, then what’s the point in working so hard? Why are minority groups offered more helpful resources on campus? As part of an ethnic minority group, why would I want the extra help when I know can achieve my goals on the same playing field as everyone else? Does this make my hard work worth less?  How important is it to encourage diversity in public schools?
