One of the best-kept secrets about DEI is that it helps men-that includes white men-get into college. If you do not work in admissions, you are likely unaware of this fact, and that's by design; one admissions officer even told The Wall Street Journal it's " higher education's dirty little secret."

But in 1995, she made a different choice, one that she believed would set her up for a bright future.
