I really am not in favor of the 20 points for the atheletes either but it did get me thinking....
There are some degrees/classes that benefit from diveresity more then others. Classes that deal with social issues past and present benefit from the diversity of their students - given that the students are providing unique feedback given their background.
More scientific and mathematical classes would seem to benefit less from the diversity. Don't get me wrong, people who are in the minority would benefit - but the class itself probably has little more value if it is all white, all black, all yellow, all green, from various backgrounds or a mix of all types and backgrounds.

Hope that makes sense.
