[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids from economically-disadvantaged, Asian families were practically nonexistent at TJ before the admissions change. It helped them more than other groups, per the appellate judicial opinion.

Poor asian kids were about as well represented as poor kids from ANY background.

. .  .

The year before the the change, 86 white students were admitted.  
This year, 140 white students were admitted.  An increase of 54 students.

The year before the change 16 hispanic students were admitted.  This year it was 41.  An increase of 25.

The year before the change 7 black students were admitted.  This year, it was 19.  An increase of 12.

Asian admissions went down by 40 despite a 64 seat increase in class size.[/quote]

Thx.
