[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here- I just think people seem to be all over the place with this ruling. People are frustrated about diversity and holistic review but then get mad about a lottery system that would essential be the most objective possible solution. The most logical solution to put all things to rest would be a lottery. No room to be upset either way.[/quote]

Because people are fine with certain types of discrimination (i.e. building a diverse class) as long as it doesn't impact them [/quote]

Well, yes. Lots of discrimination is perfectly acceptable. When you choose a side salad with your meal instead of French fries, you discriminated. That doesn’t make it wrong. Discrimination in and of itself isn’t inherently wrong. Discrimination for some REASONS is unlawful. But I mean universities discriminate against every student with an SAT below 1500 in OP’s scenario…. That’s discrimination…[/quote]

Especially using a test that has been statistically shown to have a disparate impact based on race.[/quote]
