This is just conjecturing that they're just not smart enough, which is incredible crap to me. Anyone who went to college that had extenuating circumstances with their family or money rarely does well, regardless of how the school let them in. I knew all the kids around me at college who had to work to pay for rent/school/family etc because they wouldn't have time to come to any of our study halls, group work, labs, office hours, etc. They all suffered regardless of race, but you guessed it, somehow most of the latinx and black students had jobs, and somehow most of the white, chinese and indian students did not. Unless there is some data that shows people of "average" intelligence cannot succeed at Cornell, I think we can guess that having an extra 20-40 hours/week of labor affects your grades than some classist "smartness".
