[quote=Anonymous]The problem has always been that the schools want to be *sort of selective* with respect to one group of candidates, not *as much with others* and the difference was based on race. There are plenty of solutions, including the most obvious one, which is simply ditching selectivity. Texas solved this problem years ago with its guaranteed admission to the two state flagship schools for any student graduating in the top 10% of their Texas public high school (since then refined to top 6% for UT). You know where race in admissions isn’t an issue and deep red republicans don’t care about this program? Texas. But as long as Harvard and UNC want to maintain what could be labeled as “separate but equal” admissions tracks among different races, affirmative action will be radioactive and a plain violation of the law. I can’t believe people defend Harvard’s affirmative action regime when you can get to very similar outcomes without violating the law. [/quote]
