Senators grilled the nominees to oversee higher and technical education in Utah Monday about their views on affirmative action, whether they'd support having different standards to encourage diversity and how they would fight “bloat” to gain efficiency.
at Harvard and the University of North Carolina, John asked nominee Jon Cox, “with respect to preferential treatment of certain classes, you know, diversity you can call it ... how do you think we can back away from some of the efforts that are being made on college campuses right now?”
He also pointed out: “Look at our current system, and there are certain demographic groups that are not fully participating or participating as much in our educational system.” Johnson asked Sharon Eubank, director of Latter-day Saint Charities worldwide, “Do you think maybe we could move towards a focus on the individual and away from the group that they belong to?”
