1) What do you think is more important in a college, economic diversity or racial and ethnic diversity? If both are important, why do many colleges currently favor racial diversity over economic diversity?

2 ) Regarding the above question, if colleges are  to be viewed as businesses, then do you think it would make sense for them to target primarily wealthy students?3) Do you think college admissions should be more objective, relying more on test scores and grade point averages? Although it’s surely important to check student’s “personalities” through essays and extra-curricular activities, don’t you think that the current system is too subjective and conveniently allows colleges to accept students who do not academically qualify relative to their peers (legacy admissions) under the guise of those students having “superior” extra-curricular.

4) Do you think colleges are morally responsible for encouraging students to view their salary expectation upon graduation by major before allowing student to even submit an application fee?

5) If the Federal Government stopped handing out student loans or at least made it more difficult to obtain such loans, do you think college costs will necessarily decrease  because of the decreased demand or will this just encourage colleges to target wealthier students? Also, do you think such a policy would be beneficial to many Americans, because there would be a lower number of degree holders, making corporations more willing to hire lower-skilled workers without a college diploma, causing college prices to drop further for those that can still afford college or can afford to take out private loans?

6) Many colleges claim that they are “need blind”. Do you think that there should be some external agency verifying the veracity of those college’s claims? Assuming tuition of $50000 per year, the college has $200000 to lose over a student’s total time at  college (4 years) so colleges would have a major incentive to not comply with their “need blind” claims.
