@EddieComeaux@UCLALawReview@DrUJayakumar With the status of Ivy League Schools and it to be considered to be prestigious, having white applicants having an advantage makes a student think if their merits and extracurriculars matter as much. What’s the solution to provide equal opportunities for students and their goals?
Sharing a @UCLALawReview article co-auth with @DrUJayakumar Bill Kidder & Sherod Thaxton on race, athletics, and admissions. We show that supposedly race-neutral admissions policies create advantages for white applicants.... let us know your thoughts.

@Nareenclute@abhornUCRedu Seeing a shift occur in race can be detrimental when it comes to impact on the highest of athletes. Some can lose eligibility and their chance of playing in the pros. #ucr50@TA_ED50
If students aren’t white affluent students, what other factors are needed for them to be admitted into schools? How can we make it equal for all students to be accepted basing it purely off merits and individual accomplishments? #UCR50@TA_ED50
@annette_are@TA_ED50 Hi Annette,
I agree that they should be allowed some type of revenue but not directly through the school. I feel the school is focused on academics but stopping students from earning money else where limits them in the market and experience. #UCR50@TA_ED50
Should intercollegiate athletes be considered paraprofessional athletes due to the revenue they bring in through spectators and crowds? Allowing them to make money off endorsements or additional stipends might help them learn about the real world. #ucr50@TA_ED50
@amieucr@abhornUCRedu i think over time statistically there have been more male coaches but that is because they were given the opportunity to become coaches. Women need to be represented more in careers such as these because they are highly capable of doing so. #UCR50@TA_ED50
Men continue to successfully fight for women’s coaching and staffing jobs while the inverse rarely occurs. Thus creates barriers for women to advance in their respective careers despite the leadership and guidance they can provide. #UCR50@TA_ED50
@amieucr@abhornUCRedu hey amie!
I agree with your post because when a person is willing to get to know a person more and around them they are able to change their perspectives on them and are able to achieve amazing comradery within a team. #UCR50@TA_ED50
Personal ethics in academics is important in terms of understanding how a college student is in the classrooms. The miseducation of African American male athletes prelived college lives could impact how and what goals they want to accomplish. #UCR50@TA_ED50
@AAlmarez80596@abhornUCRedu Athletes and students represent the school overall. When looking at student population people tend to look at academics and culture rather than just athletics. How can we provide for athletes in a fair way just as we perceive students who look for education? #UCR50@TA_ED50
For organizational culture to exist in college climate needs to be built every single year to be able to build a history and traditions to celebrate and discuss. Without the climate, culture is nowhere to be found. #UCR50@TA_ED50
@Ayoung091@TA_ED50 For Athletes there is always pressure to perform well on the court and it is also a part of their quote on quote job to perform well academically to push for a better career. #UCR50@TA_ED50
College Athletes balance out their academic lives in addition to practicing, traveling and competing at the highest level. Although athletes trust the system rules, how can we get athletes the fair share in terms of money and pushing for a career? #UCR50@TA_ED50
@edisonpark333 @katraly According to the readings, schools are not all wealthy or could afford to provide always the amount the athletic department needs. Being able to distribute funds depends on what each department absolutely needs and not the wants, so pay can be provided fairly. #UCR50@TA_ED50
