[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b]When adjusted for test scores, an AA kid is more than 5 times more likely to be selected than a white or Asian kid with the same stats.[/b] [/quote] Now that is a disturbing stat.[/quote] If you want the full context, it's the first paragraph on page 27[/quote] The full context is that the system has been heavily rigged in favor of URM and they still end up being underrepresented. Do we need to rig the system further or should we do something different? Since when does Equality mean equal outcome in this country? [/quote] One of the solutions they had was to strengthen front end services like Young Scholars. I hope we can all get behind that idea, at least. If there are better programs to help develop the talent of kids who are disadvantaged, more disadvantaged kids might be able to qualify without a rigged system. [/quote]
