The Daily Pennsylvanian agonizes about Penn's low "yield rate" when it comes to attracting black students. Maurice aptly observes that it sounds as though the DP is talking about crops, not people. Can it be that publicly discussing black students as a commercial quantity--one whose annual yield makes Penn look more or less good in comparison with other institutions--may have something to do with the fact that 60% of blacks who are admitted to Penn go elsewhere? The DP explores many reasons why Penn is not cultivating black students as successfully as it would like. But the mercenary objectification that comes with such "concerned" rhetoric is not among them.
