[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If race is truly not an issue, then MCPS should release scores of admitted students by race and it should be clear from the numbers. However, they have declined to do this despite freedom of information act requests by media/bloggers.[/quote] No, it would still not be clear from the numbers -- as long as there are people who believe that anybody who is black or Hispanic and got into [insert competitive academic program here] must have gotten in because of their race/ethnicity. And are there such people? Evidently, given what the OP said. Also, the relevant law in Maryland is the Public Information Act. The Freedom of Information Act is federal law and applies to federal records. Also, the PIA doesn't say that agencies have to provide information that people ask for. It says that agencies have to provide public records that people ask for, with exceptions for certain categories of public records (including student records).[/quote]
