[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this why Georgetown asks for a photo?[/quote] How would that help? I know someone who is 50% black 10% American Indian and 40% white. They have blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. They would deny this person their URM status? Or require a DNA test? [/quote] I think they would deny their status based on the photo.[/quote] Unless they want a fight on their hands. They will get sued for discrimination once it is discovered that one of the students' parents are black or Native American. Universities know better than to discriminate against mixed race people especially Native Americans. It doesn't matter what the percentage is or the student's phenotype. Universities don't want to have this fight. [/quote] Why would there be a fight? The university will not tell the applicant they were denied because of the photo and they don't believe the student is the race claimed. They will be rejected and no one will be the wiser.[/quote]
