[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole revision was based on a goal of increasing the numbers of black and hispanic students.  Just because they added a sentence in the motion saying the new plan is race-neutra doesn’t make it so.[/quote]

[b]Though, actually, the group that will increase the most from the changes are White students. Making Asians the ones with the most to lose is a major win for White people[/b]. [/quote]

This.  All this blame aimed at black and Hispanic students, when it's WHITE students who will benefit the most. [/quote]

I mean, this would be true if white folks were actually interested in sending their kids to TJ. They're not, for the most part. White applications have dropped by more than 50% in the past 8 years.[/quote]

I know white parents whose older kids didn't apply in prior years whose younger kids are applying this year.  I also know an Asian family whose oldest went to TJ, middle one opted out despite being a stronger student than the first one and whose youngest is applying this year.  I think people are hoping their kids will be able to focus on STEM without being in what was perceived, rightly or wrongly, as a pressure cooker environment.  We'll see how the numbers turn out.

Really interesting. Wishing the best for your friends and their families.[/quote]
