[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ oh, and the results were that more URMs were admitted through this process and less Asians were admitted. That was why they were sued. It accomplished a goal without appearing racially motivated.

It's still majority Asian, which is something for a country that is only 15% Asian. Since it was previously 70% Asian, any changes to the process would likely hurt the size of that cohort, but the good news is the largest beneficiaries of the changes to the process were also lower-income Asians.[/quote]

If it’s 100% Asian but[b] they are the most qualified out of everyone[/b], that seems reasonable for a magnet school which was originally created solely to hand pick the best of all applicants. To do otherwise means it isn’t a true magnet school.

PS It’s almost 21% Asian in FX and 19% in FCPS.

But what does that mean exactly?  Are you using "only test scores"?  Leaving aside the cheating, both before and after admission, are there no other "qualifications" that can or should be measured in some way?  [/quote]

It means applicants should be viewed race blind. Whether the metric is for measuring admittance, it should be used without regard to race. [/quote]
