@EddieComeaux @UCLALawReview @DrUJayakumar Elite schools openly telling everyone that they basically do have a preference for wealthy, white students is a step back on so many levels. The inclusion of POC and the consideration of background is needed for equal opportunities in college admissions.

@WeissJorda13708 @abhornUCRedu I totally agree! It is most definitely an abused loophole that maintains the racial preferences of schools. #UCR50 @abhornUCRedu #ucr50horn

[Catherine Lu @ccatherinelu]

Renowned universities, like Harvard, have a preference for white students that prolong and maintain racial bias at top schools. Moreover, excelling at sports is easier for wealthy, white students who obviously have more money and resources at their disposal.#UCR50 @abhornUCRedu

...athlete under the NCAA you no longer have ownership of that chapter of your life. Of course this is somewhat of an extreme analogy but that's what I kind of felt like upon learning this. #UCR50 @abhornUCRedu #ucr50horn

[Catherine Lu @ccatherinelu]

I feel like not being able to profit off your own image and athletic reputation is like selling a part of your life to NCAA. You no longer have those rights to use your own life experiences to better your life. Essentially, by being a college.. #UCR50 @abhornUCRedu #ucr50horn

@annette_are @TA_ED50 I totally agree. I think the lines become blurred in many different cases. Like how Evan Joseph's case of him sustaining two injuries that effectively ended his dream of pursuing the NFL. @abhornUCRedu #UCR50 #UCR50horn

@elizabeths63749 @abhornUCRedu I totally agree with you. The fact lies as women still having to fight for their own equal right. I personally believe the until the day where we don't need to, will be a win for women. @abhornUCRedu #UCR50 #UCR50horn

Considering that protection of whistleblowers regarding gender inequities was only addressed in Jackson v. Birmingham Board of Education after a MALE girls' basketball coach reached out, doesn't that seem a bit weird? #UCR50 #UCR50horn @abhornUCRedu

[Catherine Lu @ccatherinelu]

@Danielaaa_g7 @KatryaLy I think is has to do with how when you are exposed to more and are able to hear the struggles of others first hand, a completely new perspective can be opened up. I believe the benefits of cross-racial interactions are limitless. #UCR50 #ucr50horn @abhornUCRedu

...How would coaches and the university approach this?
#UCR50 #ucr50horn @abhornUCRedu

[Catherine Lu @ccatherinelu]

What would happen in the situation where a team has intense internal tension due to two segregated cliques (White and Black)? What intervention would occur as these tensions clearly affect the team's performance...

@AAlmarez80596 @abhornUCRedu I totally agree with you! I feel like because student-athletes have such busy schedules, it is very possible that they don't have the time to eat as well. This could possibly lead to an eating disorder, which brings other issues up as well. #UCR50 #UCR50horn @abhornUCRedu

This is frat-like behavior. So what can be done about stopping this type of harmful hazing? https://t.co/Z0IJBNWUzs

[Catherine Lu @ccatherinelu]

College athletes' are more prone to be hazed by their teammates using a variety of substances and peer pressure. This kind of "initiation" promotes substance abuse and isolation from the rest of the student body through creating cliques..... #UCR50horn #UCR50 @abhornUCRedu

[Catherine Lu @ccatherinelu]

@Ayoung091 @TA_ED50 I totally agree. Competition between athletics and competition between studies are both very common in today's society. And then having to handle both on the daily has got to mean a lotttt of pressure for these athletes. #UCR50 #ucr50horn @abhornUCRedu

[Catherine Lu @ccatherinelu]

Is it fair for student athletes to have the same graduation and academic standards as regular college students when their lifestyles are busier and less time forgiving? #UCR50 #ucr50horn

@danieIaruiz @abhornUCRedu ...something like cancer or research towards an environmental issue be more beneficial in the long run for the public? #UCR50 #ucr50horn @abhornUCRedu

[Catherine Lu @ccatherinelu]

@danieIaruiz @abhornUCRedu I totally agree with this. I believe that there are other departments that can use sliver of the funding for sports teams, such as research. While sports bring revenue to a school through its entertainment value, wouldn't research against.....

When comparing the salaries of college/uni coaches and professors, isn't it unfair that the requirements/ qualifications needed for a professor are much heavier? Additionally, professors address the entirety of a student body, not just athletes....#UCR50 #ucr50horn @abhornUCRedu
