[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"TO will stay. TO can be and has been legally applied in first gen low income context, which is race neutral." That is not necessarily true. The complication legally is even if your rationale is to increase the percentage of First Gen students (which I agree is a legally allowed aim) if that results increases some races and not others (which seems it might) that is going to be legally suspect. By the way, the same thing is true for legacy admissions, i.e., there is already a suit attempting to prove that it is advantages on the basis of race. [/quote] That slippery slope argument is rather weak. If you follow that argument, every rationale can be interpreted as a proxy for race. If first gen low income is a proxy, then you can argue test blind is also a proxy. Admission-by-zipcode? Proxy. No one has challenged these rationales, and they most likely would lose if challenge them. [/quote]
