[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But. It’s. Already. Happening.

It’s called data mining. Admissions offices have done it for at least a decade. You just didn’t know about it. And now they are outsourcing that work to the College Board. [/quote]

Yes, so someone else will be sued.[/quote]

Sued. Sued for what? The college board can do whatever it wants. Nothing illegal about this.

It's based on research from University of Michigan. This SES scoring of school community and neighborhood has been used for awhile now with good results, an increase in selective schools finding talented kids from low-income communities. That's the point of this.

They are using data that is publicly available. Colleges were doing this on their own but it wasn't as comprehensive or consistent process as what the researcher at U Michigan figured out. College Board agreed to test it and it worked, so now they are rolling it out.

I think using the word adversity is what has everyone up in arms.
