A panel of three high school teachers at Rippowam High School had been convened by the principal to make a most important decision. A local company was willing to award a $10,000 college scholarship to "the most outstanding senior" in the class, with the recipient to be determined by the high school. Walter Plant, Sandra Meltzer, and Jerry Driscoll were given the assignment to select the scholarship recipient. They agreed to meet at 2:30 to discuss their assignment. Driscoll opened the meeting: "I wish we had more to go on than what they gave us. A student can be 'outstanding' in many ways." "Well, I assume grades are the most important factor," said Meltzer. "Why don't we start out with the ranking of all students based upon their grade-point averages. I'd be hard pressed to award $10,000 to any student other than the class valedictorian." "I don't think it’s that easy," continued Plant. "I am far more impressed with a student who gets a B+ in honors physics than someone who gets an A in basketweaving. While a student's grade point average is certainly a good measure of their academic accomplishments, it's tainted by the difficulty of the courses taken." "That's not the only problem with the grade point average," Driscoll warned. "I've got some students in my homeroom who will graduate with the minimum number of hours, and I've got some others who branched out and took more than the minimum. I think we should give some consideration to the total number of hours taken in the curriculum." A deep frown appeared on Plant's face. "I don't see why we should penalize the student who did only what was required by the school. We specify what is needed for graduation, and the students have to comply. While I never encourage a student to stick to the minimum, I don't think we should devalue their performance for having done so." "Maybe we're getting too hung up with grades and hours," said Meltzer. “Suzanne Millord won first prize in the regional science fair competition. Shouldn't something like that count too? I'm more impressed with that than an A in any class." "You know," Plant commented, "we are forgetting about some other things too. How about civic activities, such as participation in student government or interest clubs? We encourage student involvement in these activities to make for a more well-rounded education. I don't feel we should ignore them when it comes time to make an award." "I feel those activities have their own rewards," said Driscoll. "We want to give this scholarship to the best student, not the most socially active one." "While we're at it," mused Plant, "how about athletic participation? We also stress physical education as well as social and intellectual development. Maybe we should also include interscholastic athletics. We've got some outstanding athletes in this school, and who’s to say that 'most outstanding' can't be defined in terms of athletics?" "I hardly think this was designed to be an athletic scholarship," Meltzer grumbled. "If you want to make it more complicated, why not throw in financial need; $10,000 is a lot of money, and some families could use it more than others." Driscoll stared out the window. He knew it would be a long afternoon

Would the criteria for selecting the "most outstanding student" be more biased or less biased by the inclusion of financial need? Why?
