[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't the new admissions policy have the biggest gains for economically disadvantaged Asian students?[/quote]

Yes.

[i]“we are satisfied that the challenged admissions policy does not disparately impact Asian American students”[/i]

page 16
[i]"Nevertheless, in the 2021 application cycle, Asian American students attending middle schools historically underrepresented at TJ saw a sixfold increase in offers, and the number of low-income Asian American admittees to TJ increased to 51 — from a mere one in 2020."[/i]

And...

There are MORE Asian students at TJ since the admissions change than almost any other year in the school’s history.

Asian students still make up the majority of students.

The number of Asian students enrolled at TJ by school year (fall):

The data also shows that Asian students were still accepted at a higher rate than almost all other groups, aside from Hispanic students. The acceptance rate for Asian students drives the mean since they comprise such a large % of applicants and acceptances.

Asian 19%
Black 14% (5% lower)
Multiracial/Other* 13% (6% lower)
Hispanic 21%
White 17%

All this talk about discrimination is just nonsense. These people ought to be ashamed.[/quote]

There is no question that the admissions change was driven by a racial discrimination.
You might think of it as benign racial discrimination by racially balancing the school to look more like the county but it is racial discrimination nonetheless.[/quote]
