The college student son sent this along with admiration of Marilee Jones, the Dean of Admissions at MIT. 

Jones, who sports a shock of red hair, speaks bluntly and loves the Rolling Stones, is neither quiet nor behind-the-scenes by nature. Nine years as dean, and the mother’s-eye view she got of college admissions last year, have persuaded her something is wrong. Now, from the surprising pulpit of a university famous for its overachievers, she has become perhaps the field’s most visible and outspoken champion of revamping admissions — and certainly the sharpest critic of colleges themselves for their complicity in the problem.

"Nothing will change unless we get up, look ourselves in the mirror and say, ‘I’m responsible,’" Jones told her admissions colleagues. "We have to look ourselves in the eye and say, ‘Am I an educator, or am I marketer?’"

Reading that article and her common sense perspectives about kids, I can see why MIT has a definite interest in bringing in homeschoolers.
