If it's in the Coloradoan, it must be true.
CSU admissions placing value on talent
You know, because kids are more than their test score and GPA, according to the article.CSU is developing a new system to admit prospective student athletes and musicians with "exceptional talent" but who otherwise might not get in due to low grades or test scores.
Athletes and other "talented" prospective students, such as marching band members, would get some preferential treatment by admissions.

When you have no standards to begin with, how can you lower them?

The new CSU entrance exam is the "mirror test".
An admissions officer places the mirror in front of the applicants mouth. If it fogs, then admitted.
Interesting aside to this: Initially, they tried testing by placing the mirror under the noses of the applicants. After no one was able to be admitted, CSU did a comprehensive study that revealed that all of their applicants were not, in fact, dead. Most of them were just mouth breathers.

At least when CSU's short buses pull into Mile High, they can use the handicap spaces.
That'll make it easier for Fairchild to offload the drool buckets.
which would be the smart thing to do. create a "6%" rule and you don't have to KYOA in public, like they are doing now.

We should have listened to Colorado fans.

Funny thread...the fact the sheephumper safety school had standards to lower was a surprise to me. I just assumed anybody who showed up with a check or the ability to fill out a student loan app was in....
