[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone summerize this thread.  Am I reading this correctly? -

A Nigerian-American couple (Dr and Engineer), wanted to get affirmative action admission for their child in Sidwell but top colleges rejected the student.  According to the oarents, they should have been a shoo-in because they were Black.  They are now compelling the school to change grades for their student so that the student is more competetive,  And the school is paying them 50K to go away.  Amirite? [/quote]

No you are not. Not even close. The school agreed to pay $50k and correct the grades in a separate mediation based on the inaccurate calculation of her math grades. The lawsuit now alleges they failed to do so or did so incorrectly in violation of the agreed upon settlement so that incorrect grades were sent to the colleges. It further alleges that the school then retaliated against her by manipulating her counselor report and not doing a good job helping her apply, including, according to the petition, identifying her as a Nigerian National when she is a US citizen, thereby depriving her of any potential AA.

That’s what they (the family) alleges. They lost at the appeals court and thus the Supreme Court. But Sidwell appears to have admitted that the grades were inaccurately calculated. [/quote]
