[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now they'll devise a plan designed to increase URM in a more targeted manner, while still maintaining high merit-based academic standards.[/quote] These things can't exist currently and are in direct competition with each other. I hope they can exist in the future by reforming AAP to be truly for the gifted instead of overwhelmed with well off whites and asians who are above average but aren't gifted in many cases.[/quote] How do you identify "truly gifted"? [/quote] Good question. I don't know. I'll leave that to professionals. I would scrap appeals thought because again that's just a backdoor for pushy parents to cheat the system If the focus is really equity I would argue the fairest thing to do is take students who are more than 3 standard deviations above the average person in a school.
