Agree in principle - although visa policy, lack of green card etc. has to be factored in for international students. Perhaps talking about race etc. is a tough thing to do on my birthday and with someone so hopeful and sincere, so I will leave it aside for now.
PS (very irrelevant): speaking of Wharton and Columbia I have to put this quote here for entertaining purposes...from my favourite academic reflection paper of all time...
This year was a needed break from Wharton. The Department of Management had yet to consolidate into the research community that came to exist later. The international group was lead by an extraordinary individual, XX, who provided solid support in a confusing environment. The department had been sued for sexual discrimination (the first of what became a series of such disputes) and the case went to the Supreme Court; yet, there was almost total institutional silence over the issues, or admission that there was an issue. A chair of the department called in assistant faculty to provide references to his papers, or to provide advice on consulting in preparation for a meeting with the client the next day. Searches for chairs resulted in brutal and unfair procedures; in one occasion, a senior offer was made to an individual despite established evidence regarding plagiarism – hardly reassuring to young researchers.
.........
On the way home from Wharton – I lived in Powelton Village a lively district in West Philadelphia that was still then quite early in redevelopment, I ran across a woman who was screaming and swearing on the top of her lungs. The thought flashed across my mind, ‘that’s how I feel’ I said to myself, and concluded she must be a former assistant professor at the department of management.
