[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] TJ has more highly qualified URMs (AA and Hispanic) now.  Ironically, they also have many more white kids who aren't very strong STEM students.  [/quote]

I find the increased white enrollment sadly predictable, not ironic.  The appearance is gaining an increase in their enrollment under the cloak of helping Hispanics and AA folks.  [/quote]

When you remove a system that demonstrably and obviously favors one ethnic group, it's a matter of simple statistics that all of the other groups will be restored at least to some level.

The new system does not confer any advantage to a specific racial group - it removes an advantage from a racial group and confers an advantage to a socioeconomic group. It's always worth remembering that the statistics indicated that the largest racial group that benefited from the new changes are Asians of low SES.

[b]Claiming that the new system disadvantages Asian students is a bit like claiming that a school moving from a boys school to a co-ed school is somehow creating an admissions disadvantage for boy[/b]s.[/quote]

BINGO!!![/quote]
