[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] They want to have more diversity in the magnets. One of the things recommended was to change the admissions criteria to achieve this. This was discussed in the other thread. starting from here: http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/60/547680.page[/quote] Changing the admissions criteria does not necessarily mean lowering the standards. Why do you assume that it does?[/quote] You have been doing this circular questioning all day long. Tell us how do you propose to increase URM representation in an equitable way without disregarding the test scores? Because by scores alone, there are not enough Latinos and Blacks.[/quote] DCUM is starting with the following assumptions: 1. The current admissions process is admitting the best-qualified applicants. 2. Everybody who is qualified to go to the HGC is applying to the HGC. I think that both of these assumptions are false.[/quote]
