[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you've described a school that selects URMs. That's not anti-AAPI bias. Fwiw, there a number of AAPI students in FCPS of different backgrounds and some are high achieving and others are average. Don't have all the same concerns.[/quote] It is biased if the selection is not based on merit. [/quote] There are different types of merit when it comes to the opportunities you mention. If someone external wants to hear from students, they don’t just want to hear from top academic achievers. They want a range of experiences. If you want a student host/MC for an event, you want the most charismatic students and sometimes those are the B/C students. Sounds like the school isn’t exclusively selecting academic leaders, but applying criteria of the most suitable strengths for the positions they need to fill. [/quote]
