End affirmative action by accepting everyone into college.

The inherent problem with affirmative in the context of college admissions is that you reject one applicant in favor of another applicant based on a racial consideration.  I don't think anyone would have a problem with some one being admitted to college as long as it wasn't not at the expense of someone else.  Therefore I propose that public universities, especially state schools begin accepting all applicants.  Let anyone who thinks they can do well and is willing to finance the endeavor give it their best shot.  The worst case is that they have some college experience and perhaps a little debt.  Universities could charge a premium for students who live in the college dorms (as they currently do) and could offer reduced tuition for e-classes.  Local economies would benefit.  More teaching assistants/graders may need to be hired to meet the demand, but the number of full time faculty positions should not see an increase as technology is now available to increase the reach of the same professors.  Moreover tuition rates would probably go down.  The only remaining moral problem is that wealthier students would be more likely to pay the extra amount to actually sit in for the live lectures and live close to campus while the less fortunate would telecommute and be less likely to enjoy the 'college' experience.  Those matters while not trivial, cannot compare to the benefits of extending low cost education to everyone.  When it comes down to it, most people wouldn't trade a quality education, a good paying job, the ability to support oneself and family, and a secure, future for dorm food, football games, and the smell of chalk.
