[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the idea of giving disadvantaged students a leg-up, but simply limiting it to race is wrong. Also 25% of admits is not a trivial number. Instead, of going strictly by race, they could intentionally increase admits from poor state schools. This would effectively accomplish the same thing as race-oriented AA, but it would also allow for poor students of other races. UT Austin's 10% rule seems to have this affect, which is a good thing. Choosing more students from poor schools would have the side effect of providing a disincentive for affluent parents sending their children to elite private K-12 schools, which is ruining public schools. Suddenly, there would be an incentive for affluent families to take an interest in poor schools. This would reduce segregation between school districts.[/quote] Makes a lot of sense. Who opposes it? Wealthy AAs who send their kids to private school.[/quote]
