race-blind admissions is a distraction. Seems like the real issue is purchasing admissions.[/quote]

And the way to stop purchasing admissions is to implement a per school quota?[/quote]

No, it's to remove the exam.[/quote]
This means the per-school quota which was implemented had nothing to do with the alleged cheating on an entrance exam.
They had some other goal in mind.[/quote]

Yes. It’s called making TJ more accessible for white families. White PTA moms that push their kids into AAP programs so they can brag, and now they want their kid attending TJ for the status symbol. The admissions changes had NOTHING to do with increase in URMs. It was only when the school was majority Asian and white kids could not compete head to head was drastic change called for. [/quote]

Didn't the changes bring about nearly a 2X increase in URMs? Still has it been stated that was their goal?  I thought it was just more fair to give all schools some representation not just the richest one's where prep is the most common.[/quote]
