Federal judge rules that admissions changes at nation’s top public school discriminate against Asian

Claude M Hilton, Senior Judge, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia wrote. “Currently and in the future, Asian-American applicants are disproportionately deprived of a level playing field in competing for both allocated and unallocated seats.”

Hilton also called the school board’s process for implementing the changes “remarkably rushed and shoddy” with “a noticeable lack of public engagement and transparency.”

Looks like the FCPS board is the problem. Has the FCPS board changed since this finding in 2022?

Mr. Claude Hilton is flat out wrong, if not lying through his teeth. It's surprising a judge would state such lengths of misinformation. Either he did not look at the data and is only spitting out his opinion, or he did look at the data and does not understand how to apply basic math and proportions. In that case, perhaps he is not fit to serve as a judge.

Here are proportions proving mathematically that Asians are not "disproportionately harmed."

"Class of 2024:
The total hit rate per application was 19.14%.
355 seats were offered to Asian students, coming from 1,423 applications for a hit rate of 24.94%.
86 seats were offered to white students, coming from 595 applications for a hit rate of 14.45%.
A maximum of 9 seats were offered to Black students, coming from 160 applications for a maximum hit rate of 5.63%. The actual hit rate was likely much lower.
16 seats were offered to Hispanic students from 208 applications for a hit rate of 7.69%.

When cultural factors and compounding evidence like the Curie matter are taken into account, it is noncontroversial to assert that the previous process disproportionately favored Asian students and had a clear disparate impact on all other demographics.

Class of 2025:
The total hit rate per application was 18.13%.
299 seats were offered to Asian students from 1,535 applications for a hit rate of 19.48%. Still slightly favored, but no longer in a statistically significant manner.
123 seats were offered to white students from 726 applications for a hit rate of 16.94%. Still slightly disfavored, but again, not significantly.
39 seats were offered to Black students from 272 applications for a hit rate of 14.33%. Seems like there's still some work to be done here, but at least we're in reasonable territory.
62 seats were offered to Hispanic students from 295 applications for a hit rate of 21.02%. Favored, but only about half as much as Asians were pre-changes."

This analysis assumes that applicants in each stratum (i.e. race) are equally likely to be accepted. An unbiased analysis would control for individual characteristics across the strata.

FCPS's admissions releases for each of those years. Google is your friend

[Anonymous]

Are there similar admissions news releases for 2022 and 2023?

" Asian students continue to constitute a majority of the class at 54.36%, a decrease from 73.05% (2020-21)."

Imaging the outrage if there were to be a news release like:

"After NBA draft changes this year, African American players continue to constitute a majority of the league at 54.36%, a decrease from 71.8% ."

Why resurrect this old thread? I mean, this was laughed out of court already.

Can someone please explain to me why there is this pervasive subset of people who insist on bringing up the NBA as some sort of comparison with admissions processes?

Why do you think these things are even remotely comparable?

The total hit rate per application was 19.14%.
355 seats were offered to Asian students, coming from 1,423 applications for a hit rate of 24.94%.
86 seats were offered to white students, coming from 595 applications for a hit rate of 14.45%.
A maximum of 9 seats were offered to Black students, coming from 160 applications for a maximum hit rate of 5.63%. The actual hit rate was likely much lower.
16 seats were offered to Hispanic students from 208 applications for a hit rate of 7.69%.

When cultural factors and compounding evidence like the Curie matter are taken into account, it is noncontroversial to assert that the previous process disproportionately favored Asian students and had a clear disparate impact on all other demographics.

Class of 2025:
The total hit rate per application was 18.13%.
299 seats were offered to Asian students from 1,535 applications for a hit rate of 19.48%. Still slightly favored, but no longer in a statistically significant manner.
123 seats were offered to white students from 726 applications for a hit rate of 16.94%. Still slightly disfavored, but again, not significantly.
39 seats were offered to Black students from 272 applications for a hit rate of 14.33%. Seems like there's still some work to be done here, but at least we're in reasonable territory.
62 seats were offered to Hispanic students from 295 applications for a hit rate of 21.02%. Favored, but only about half as much as Asians were pre-changes."

" Asian students continue to constitute a majority of the class at 54.36%, a decrease from 73.05% (2020-21)."

Imaging the outrage if there were to be a news release like:

"After NBA draft changes this year, African American players continue to constitute a majority of the league at 54.36%, a decrease from 71.8% ."

Can someone please explain to me why there is this pervasive subset of people who insist on bringing up the NBA as some sort of comparison with admissions processes?

Why do you think these things are even remotely comparable?

Because they need an example with a black majority.

Looks like the FCPS board is the problem. Has the FCPS board changed since this finding in 2022?

Mr. Claude Hilton is flat out wrong, if not lying through his teeth. It's surprising a judge would state such lengths of misinformation. Either he did not look at the data and is only spitting out his opinion, or he did look at the data and does not understand how to apply basic math and proportions. In that case, perhaps he is not fit to serve as a judge.

Here are proportions proving mathematically that Asians are not "disproportionately harmed."

Correct, it is to show the hypocrisy of equity.

But it… doesn’t. One entity is a private business comprised of 30 franchises who exist to win games, compete for championships and make money. The other is an educational opportunity.

You have to work a lot harder to justify any comparison between the two.
