Gentlefolk,

In general, it seems that if the school is privately funded, the academic standards must satisfy the requirements of an oversight organization, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education being an example. The non-academic requirements are limited by state and federal law. This freedom of choice permits different organizations to present a range of choices to prospective students.

On balance, that seems reasonable. We must accept that, while most people here at Pixies (I presume) don’t approve of the admission policies of the Ontario Christian School, there are many, many people who do.

I’m sure that the admissions policies of VMI and the Citadel (Public) are substantially different from those of College Of Notre Dame Of Maryland or Baltimore Hebrew University (Private). Different clientele, different offerings.
