[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But  these  data points reflect a time when admission to TJ was precisely based on doing well on standardized tests, correct?  [/quote]

Look those of who are still hung up on the admission process change to TJ must understand that it has not fundamentally changed things at TJ. Look at the admission data - The number of Asian kids were admitted after the admission process change is about same as the number of admitted Asian kids before the change. What actually happened after the admission process change were- 1) The class size increased and that allowed more URM kids to be recruited ( this is better for diversity) 2) Eliminated the test prep industry which frankly not all but a significant number of Asian/Indian communities were patronizing to game the system 3) Allowed more schools to send their best students to TJ.

The problem is the admission process change was politicized by the right wing disinformation machine and what the county and the admin failed to do was communicate clearly and got wind up in their own politics. And off course most in the Asian/Indian communities had a knee jerk reaction and fell pray to the disinformation machine to vote in a right wing Governor.

Again, data never lies. [/quote]
