You didn't read the article either, did you. They specifically explain that by "inclusive" they mean looking more purely at merit in things like math, science and leadership.
Their previous practice was discriminatory in the same way selecting for "prior golfing experience" would favor rich white kids. You want to look for the potential to be a great golfer, not some b.s. high school level experience that is more a reflection of opportunities or peer pressure, not true merit.
