That is absolutely not true. I saw the numbers.<br /><br />6. The current director of admissions was hired at the end of last school year when almost all the students who were coming had already been accepted. He didn't even really start running things until the middle of summer. So to say that he had a big hand in bringing in the current freshman/transfers is just erroneous.maybe you meant outsidernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318532744978761749.post-81682076063830580182009-04-17T14:38:00.000-04:002009-04-17T14:38:00.000-04:001. Shaft, who was a minority, left because he got a better job offer.<br />2. Right now 1 in 8 of our Undergrad Admissions counselors is not white. Sounds kind of like the PBA Undergrad student body stats too. Seems fitting that a majority white school would have a majority white staff? Just the kind of people we attract.<br />3. With the last hire there was a more than qualified white candidate, and they went with a black candidate.<br />4. This semester PBA had record enrollment for a Spring semester, with the current counselors.<br />5. People who don't know what they're talking about should keep their mouths closed.<br />6. The current director of Admissions is more focused on bringing in students that care about the PBA values than bringing in students. Notice the drop in disciplinary cases this year with freshman?<br />7.

But man do we mess it up sometimes like bringing up race when the story has nothing to do with it. I see the article to be more about Christians saying God is in control until things don't work out the way they want. But that is just my take.<br /><br />PS.

Some of the admissions counslors only visited their territory once, and it was in the next county over. Tell me how that's doing your job? They had a terrible system that misled people about how they were really doing and every consultant for that area will agree that there system was very poorly thought out and managed. <br /><br />Fourth, they were probably let go more for attitude about accepting change and the new system instead of being black. Even if they met their numbers, if they weren't willing to be accountable and adapt to the new people, why should they be left to disrupt the department?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318532744978761749.post-3922129627075824272009-04-14T17:40:00.000-04:002009-04-14T17:40:00.000-04:00This article is amazing.

This makes sense. However, what doesn't make sense is why the other person, who definitely didn't meet his numbers, not only kept his job, but got a promotion. He didn't meet his numbers, so what justifies the promotion and not getting canned like everyone else? On the other hand, the ONLY other person who actually met her numbers(besides Z) was given the boot. Need I say, this person was not of the caucasian decent. So which is then, is it because she is a female, or because she is black??? she was clearly better at her job and her NUMBERS showed it- so obviously its not about the NUMBERS! AAAND why did they hire all white ppl, who clearly have no idea what they are doing as the replacement squad??? The "old" team continually and consistenly utilized the pathetic budget they were given to work with to set record numbers year after year- for almost ten years!

If people are fired for not hitting numbers, then the color of their skin has nothing to do with the firing. If you have some proof of firing being based on race, please share the information with the rest of the group instead of just making accusations.itseemstomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15037793534494701193noreply@blogger.com
