The Obama administration is encouraging universities to admit more criminals, and of course the pro-crime, pro-quota New York Times thinks this is a swell idea.

I’m sure that there are some people with criminal records who ought to be admitted to schools, and some who should not. I’m also sure (1) that the decision is one for schools to make, not the federal government, and (2) that the decision should not be driven by the racial makeup of who gets in and who doesn’t, which naturally is what the Obama administration’s (“disparate impact”) focus is.
