I think this is a very interesting and reasonable idea. Is it being discussed at all in higher education admission circles? If not , maybe you could submit this as an op ed. Somewhere. NYT?

This is intriguing. I wondered and worried how random selection would work for the Redistricting Commission. But the commissioners selected rose to the challenge, learned on the job, and produced a competent result. When I taught AP Stats I let anyone in the class who wanted to join and the self selection. worked - people don't deliberately puts themselves in impossible positions. Teachers/Professors might rise to the challenge too, of teaching a more diversely skilled group.
