Nonsense!

Think I'm wrong ... back it up with something more substantive than neocon scare-mongering.
when I was in grad school, there was a big stink at Berkeley when they tried to limit the enrolment of asians to something like 30%. 30% represents a much proportion than found the general population of California. Cries of "quota" were raised and the idea died.

I know someone who got an NSF minorities grant (do they still do that?). She has a Ph.D. It would be hard for someone who was awarded a standard NSF who left without a degree to complain about that.
