This is a private university, not a state university *NM* Roland00 Send a noteboard - 25/08/2011 10:29:15 PM
But if they said they were doing it in the name of diversity I would think they were nuts. As I said to Issac, it isn't the scholarship I object to it is the stated rationale.

Oh and yes plenty of liberals not mention independents and no few conservatives criticize BYU for their policies. I know I do but it so far it hasn't illustrated a point I was trying to make so I havn't mentioned it.
