The study at the core of this article appears to make the assumption that SAT scores are the only factor that ought to be considered when making college admissions decisions. But I don't think that's right. Certainly the mission of these universities is not solely to educate the best test-takers in the world. And unless I missed it there's also no evidence that the schools studied actually do use race in their admissions decisions. There are a variety of other factors that could be considered which would end up skewing the admissions results on the basis of race. Should colleges not be allowed to give extra consideration to students from poorly performing schools simply because doing so might have the effect of giving "bonus points" to African American or Hispanic applicants?
