[quote=Anonymous][quote]But— a lot of this law is in the context of college admissions, where there a set number of seats. AAP is different, because every qualified kid is supposed to be admitted. Unlike Harvard, a URM getting admission does not take a seat from some other, possibly more qualified kid. Your UMC white kid will still be admitted, whether or not the YS model is used to identify additional URM kids.[/quote]

Umm.. no.

25% is a statistical measure.

It's not like they are saying they want 5 kids of X race per class of 20 . They want 25% of  AAP according to OP. That means, possibly, admitting less kids per class of Y race. 
Or, it could mean admitting a LOT fo X race and continuing to admit "your UMC white kid." Then class sizes could be bigger.

They already do this anyway. It's nothing new. It's apparent if you are in a center and have friends at other schools who share scores. Otherwise they wouldn't require name, race, and school on the cover page that gets submitted. It would be a blind admission based on a number. And it's not.
