The numbers show discrimination - just not in the way that you think.
How is it discrimination that schools aren’t giving black people unnecessary boosts in admission? California is about 5% black and Pomona draws heavily from California. Why was it ever 14% black?
And Harvey Mudd now has
3% black students.
Both are national LACs and draw students from all across the country, which is 12% black.
How on earth is that acceptable?
Black students face discrimination in the admissions process, leading to their diminished representation.
Harvey mudd is a top stem school that demands students come in with a strong background. If you look at how poor black students do on standardized exams compared to other students, 3% is pretty great!
Don't look at poor Black students. Look across income levels. Poorer students of all races have lower scores. Wealthier students who receive significant SAT prep (and whose schools get them the right math courses earlier), score higher on the SATs. It's a simple formula: more prep = better standardized scores, no matter who you are.
And across the US, there are now substantially more than 3% of Black students blowing tests out of the water. Legacy kids and recruited athletes are also taking up spots with sub-optimal stats.
