Pretty sure the OP was assuming qualified people only...

Also, you say:

> The goal is really to remove obstacles that unfairly exclude some people from the field.

Which, to me, implies that you were also assuming qualified people only, since excluding people who aren't qualified is perfectly fair.

Not "also". My point was that the OP's statement disregards the issue of qualification by saying that everyone who wants a position should get one. I emphasized the issue of qualifications, and not "also" but alone.

My use of the word "unfairly" moves the standard to qualified people, which contrasts with that of the OP.
