ACT spokesman has a good point. I think the university will find this will lead to a reduced graduation rate, and less seats available for students who have a high probability of making it through the program.
As of 2016, the school recorded 43% of the new undergraduate class being white - already far below the national demographics. The only over represented group is Asians at 18%. This plan seems born of the usual trend in the past few years, with the goal of reducing Asian membership.

Not sure what you're saying here. The university is changing to what it believes is a better admissions system. Are Asians for some reason unable to compete under a different system? There's never been a compelling argument for making the ACT/SAT the only criteria for admission - except perhaps that it's one number, making the job of admissions easier.
- hackerman12345 8y agoI'm suggesting the whole reason behind this "better admission system" is because they want to reduce the amount of Asians there. If you keep changing the rules for admission, you'll eventually find one which xyz undesired demographic can't compete in as well. It's not the first time they've been discriminated against.
