[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go look at table 11 on page 49. I guess there is one admissions preference the authors don't want to talk about. http://public.econ.duke.edu/~psarcidi/legacyathlete.pdf[/quote] I’m usually a supporter of affirmative action but if this analysis is true it’s pretty damning. Half of Hispanic Harvard students and 2/3 of Harvard African American students wouldn’t have been admitted without racial preferences? Those numbers are high. People definitely find it offensive to be told “you wouldn’t be here without affirmative action, but these numbers say that is true much of the time. [/quote] Yup. Which is why so many prefer to hide those numbers.[/quote]
