[quote=Anonymous]Opponents of affirmative action typically point to black or Latino students with lower grades and test scores than rejected white applicants. But grades and standardized test scores are an incomplete and imprecise measure of merit. No one - including the people who give the grades and write the tests - thinks they should be the only considerations. Moreover, grades aren’t comparable between schools, so admissions officers also have to consider the difficulty of classes, the competitiveness of schools, and the extent of grade inflation. Meanwhile, standardized test scores reflect well-documented racial and socioeconomic biases. There’s no formula for how to account for all of this, so even looking at grades and test scores alone involves an inherently subjective and holistic evaluation. Lawyers and courts can’t tell a university how to do this. [/quote]
