劉文勇GRE寫(xiě)作Argument題庫(kù) Day 148

Day 148 We recommend that Grove College preserve its century-old tradition of all-female education rather than admit men into its programs

The following recommendation was made by the president and administrative staff of Grove College, a private institution, to the college's governing committee.

“We recommend that Grove College preserve its century-old tradition of all-female education rather than admit men into its programs. It is true that a majority of faculty members voted in favor of coeducation, arguing that it would encourage more students to apply to Grove. But 80 percent of the students responding to a survey conducted by the student government wanted the school to remain all female, and over half of the alumnae who answered a separate survey also opposed coeducation. Keeping the college all female will improve morale among students and convince alumnae to keep supporting the college financially.”

Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.
