[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new admissions proposal isn't designed to increase URM enrollment. It's designed to increase white enrollment. Look at the data :
Twenty years ago, 70 percent of TJ students were white; today, 79 percent are minority, most from Asian immigrant families. The proposed lottery plan would decimate the representation of minorities at TJ, with the school soon becoming predominately white. Assuming that all of the students who qualify for the lottery will apply for admissions to TJ. the percentage of Asian students gaining admission to TJ will be slashed by more than half from 73% admitted in the Class of 2024 to 33.52%. In contrast, the percentage of white students gaining admission to TJ will more than double from 18% admitted in the Class of 2024 to 44.88%, making white families the plan’s greatest beneficiaries and dramatically shrinking the school’s overall percentage of minorities.

Yeah, that's not gonna happen and you completely neglected to take the geographic breakdown into your analysis. Unless you can point to what those percentages will look like from PW, Region 3, etc.... This post is of less than zero value.[/quote]

If you can, please refute with data and analysis, instead of rhetoric and empty words.[/quote]

Nah. All I did, and all I was intending to do, was show that the analysis given was deeply flawed and thus of no value. I succeeded in that goal.

FCPS already basically refuted this argument with the slide in their presentation that showed how the class of 2024 would have shifted based on their applicant pool.[/quote]
