[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Key point: these students are of lower caliber because they are beneficiaries of affirmative action/preferences. Why would anyone be surprised they don’t perform as well? The gap is likely even bigger than reported in that the FGLI kids may have less rigorous majors (think African American studies vs STEM)[/quote] No. The African American studies department at my elite university was mostly wealthy and UMC black students with college educated (oftentimes graduate-school educated) parents.
