I think WaltonParent has a legitimate concern. The original post indicated that Board member Mark Davis "said the younger students can be overlooked or not admitted when trying to go onto the masters level. He said the colleges feel they are simply too young." It was not phrased that he "asked" or "expressed concern."
WaltonParent's contention, as I understand it, was that Davis was making an affirmative representation as to this grad school admission policy and making his Board decisions based upon this "fact." WaltonParent simply wanted this claim substantiated or being given a reference to the source of this information. I don't think such a request is out of line. If there is such data, let's examine it; if there is no such data, let's just take it as the opinion (or "gut feeling") that it is.
