In the free-for-all follow-up discussion, he who talks the fastest sets the tone--and in this case, that means that Professor Graglia's favorite topic, college admissions, gets the bulk of the air time. But that's fine: it's a topic about which all the participants care deeply and speak well. Ms. Guinier: "When you use tests to automatically admit [a group of people]... without regard to their ethics, to their character, you are basically asserting that your value is simply: Can you think fast and have you been brought up by a family that has the resources to coach you to take this test? ..." Mr. Graglia: "Unfortunately we cannot ask applicants to law school: 'Are you highly moral? Are you going to behave ethically?' They're all going to say yes, and the least ethical will probably say yes the most persuasively."
