[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.

Pg 7
[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%

Can you update the chart?

Because the only group that seems to have decreased is asians while every other group increased.
That really seems like an attempt to racially balance the school[/quote]

Except the number of Asian students enrolled at TJ has [u]not[/u] decreased.

If you look at the four years before the admissions change and the four years after, there are on average MORE Asian students at TJ today.

It wasn't about [u]reducing[/u] the number of Asian students; it was about [u]adding[/u] others. It wasn't zero sum - they added seats to open up access to kids from across the county. There are just as many Asian students there today as there were before.
