SF best school reinstates merit-based admission after a lottery miserable fails
- tssva 4y agoWhen you begin allowing in students who have until that point only had access to lesser academic opportunities wouldn't a higher rate of failure be expected initially? To judge whether the lottery approach was successful or not would take measuring the progress of those students over a longer period of time. A decision to reverse course seems to have been made without even having the data for a complete school year which indicates it wasn't really a data driven decision. Just be honest about why the decision was made and not pretend it was data driven.
