[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I would think Test Optional is dead except possibly for recruited athletes, but not just at Columbia. Given the exec order on admissions data TO won't be helpful to diversify incoming class at any college. If the students admitted TO are more URM that is proof of disparate impact, i.e. discrimination, so [b]TO would have to used for another reason[/b] (i.e. athletes) or be applied in an entirely race neutral way. To be clear, I am not in favor of this. I think there still is a need for affirmative action, school resources aren't anywhere near equal, even without accounting for parental support not available to everyone. But as an attorney I just think colleges won't be able to have programs that though not directly tied to race are essentially surrogate features that help candidates of some races. [/quote] TO will stay. TO can be and has been legally applied in first gen low income context, which is race neutral. [/quote]
