It's flagrantly misleading to claim that "being black is worth [x]" when this scale is dated and explicitly prohibited from use after Gratz v. Bollinger (2003).

It's flagrantly misleading to claim that "being black is worth [x]" when this scale is dated and explicitly prohibited from use after Gratz v. Bollinger (2003).
See here for UMich's 16 year old explanation of this scale:

Do you have any data suggesting anything of the sort is still in use?
- yummyfajitas 10y agoColleges are secretive, so we need to make do with what little data the court forced them to reveal. I know of no data more current than this. Do you have any evidence things have changed?
- rmxt 10y agoHow can you take something as useful evidence when it has been explicitly prohibited from use? Unless public colleges are secretly flying in the face of a Supreme Court ruling, your assertion that "being black is worth +1.0 on GPA, whereas underrepresented state is +0.1 and underrepresented county in Michigan is +0.3," is unproven by the evidence you provided. Had you said "was," and explained that you don't believe things have changed, that would have been far more intellectually honest.
