As opposed to doctoring numbers to appease their great state overlords--that motive seems much, much more sinister.
Also, I'm now laughing thinking about the same thing happening at a historically black university: Rich, black parents making sure some white and asian kids get in so that their kids have a well-rounded college experience.
