I am so glad that you have been able to review all of these kids’ admissions and financial aid folders. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

I would put the skiers’ academic qualifications up against any Ivy football or basketball team. And many of these kids are competing at the World Cup and Olympic level in their sport.

Recruited skiers are subject to the same minimum AI standards as any other Ivy athlete.

Cannot disagree with your diversity comment, but should every single program at the schools be forced to either be diverse or not be supported? Obviously the recruiting pool for highly talented ski racers is not very diverse.

I have a son who played football at Dartmouth and have also been highly involved with the ski program. There is not a kid on either squad I have met who I am not immensely proud of and is not highly qualified to be in Hanover.
