Like the "personality score" which somehow curiously scored Asians lower, without even talking to them in person ?
Don't you worry, the universities will make sure that their decisions are so opaque that they won't ever be caught red handed again
- fzeroracer 3y agoOr what about SATs, which favor Asian-Americans over every other race? Do you believe that the SATs function as a form of affirmative action and should be removed? Does removing them count as a form of affirmative action because it equalizes the field for other individuals?
- cuteboy19 3y agoWith the SAT, there is nothing that intentionally restricts other people from performing equally well. It is an objective measure in that we know how it is calculated for every single student. We can audit the scores With the "personality score" we have proof that the score was intentionally created to lower the chances of Asians getting through. Moreover there is no way to audit the scores of a particular student. They do not explain how a score is calculated. Moreover, Harvard alumni scored Asians on par with their other peers, meaning that the metric was created almost certainly to discriminate
