I think his point, as well as the report more generally, is being missed. The objective is not diversity for its own sake. The objective is to "train up" qualified students who are qualified to attend public schools like Powell, and have the potential and the motivation to do well, but did not get the teaching they needed before they arrive.

By training them up, as well as by listening to their concerns, schools such as Lowell hope to enable these kids to buy into the "system" and themselves, rather than going elsewhere and/or despairing.

You do remember who you're talking to don't you? We understand "sacrifice" more than most.
