All these people who cry out for affirmative action to be removed, I will see them write two pages about why it should not be there, but they will never advocate the really fair solution, because it will make them extremlely unlikely to ever get into the schools.
But this is essentially how admissions works for whites and asians. They look at your scores if you make the cutoff your in (barring sports scholarships or legacies which I'm also against).
Are you saying of all the applications from black people they received, they did not find 50 that met the cut-off mark? That's a bit unlikely, is it not?
Then why do they have different admissions standards for minority applicants? If it were possible for minority applicants to meet the normal admissions standards affirmative action programs would be unnecessary.
If you want a score based system, then say so and accept that whites will be a tiny minority in those schools
I want a score based system. I'm against affirmative action precisely because it is a hybrid system. Whites and Asians are held to one standard, minorities to another. As I've said before, if you want to admit lower scoring minority applicants adjust the general admissions standards accordingly so they can get in.
- jeb 16y agoYou have still not made it clear. Do you REALLY want a score-only based systems that is going to clearly favour people from one small area of the U.S, or do you just not want minorities to get in easier? What do you think of the fact that score based systems will lead to a very one-track kind of thinking process coming out of those schools?
