Vandy used to be a school for wealthy Southerners, most of whom attended prep school. There have always been northerners here but they were a minority. Now since Zeppos came in he is wasting hundreds of millions each year by giving financial aid to poor students who often aren't academically qualified. It used to be that if you went to MBA(the top Nashville prep school) and had good grades you'd get in automatically but that's not so anymore. His myopic focus on increasing diversity is wasting money. Furthermore, most of the applicants who wouldn't have attended before won't make enough to make a donation even large enough to cover the financial aid that was generated. It's important to attract the best students but most of them come from wealthy families and attended prep school or a wealthy public school. There is a very high correlation between wealth and income. The student body is unrecognizable from how it was when my dad attended . It used to be that Vandy girls were Southern belles. Now I'd wager that over 99% of them never even attended a debutante ball. You're lucky to find more than a dime or two in each top sorority. I could go on and talk about how Zeppos has destroyed Greek Life here but I'll rest my case and end my rant.
