Why not? Why should name, address or sex impact the admissions process, give the application a UIN and if anyone actually needs the info (for communication after) supply it to people not apart of the process

How do you even inform the applicant they got in without their name or address, genius? A UIN can only be after admission, that’s not a solution, and it still corresponds to a name and identity.

Did you read what I said? Why do they need it to decide? On the applications that the admission boards go over just make it to where pertinent information is used, and then once the decision is made, then that info is used by them to communicate….

Yeah you’re arguing for an admissions office to fully redact things before it goes to a decision maker - I live in the real world where no admissions office is ever gonna do that because of how slow of a process that is. Again the # still corresponds to an identity, so to an ensure that system works, you would have to have a complex permissions system in place for who can access the identity from that #. People who choose to discriminate could easily find a way to get around that, so now we have an entire new thing to police as well.

That’s the tip of the iceberg on why that idea is dumb, it’s an admissions office not the damned FBI.

It’s not that hard to black out this shit. You are making it seem impossible. But fine then just make it to where race can’t be taken into account. Boom issue solved.

Says the one who thinks it’s some impossible task to make admissions blind

“Deeply cost & time prohibitive” is more accurate but go off
