A diversity agenda is only flawed if it mindlessly picks applicants without academic and other considerations.
A 95th percentile scoring black student raised in the projects with no societal or peer pressure to succeed, could be just as successful as a 99th percentile Asian student raised in a distraction-free, parental-pressured and peer-pressured environment.
In fact, maybe the black student could be better suited to handle the stressful study and work period that medical interns go through.
And that's just the medical field. There's plenty of stories of tech companies and technologies being built by people that weren't high academic overachievers.
