Interesting guest column from Marc Novicoff:
“There’s only one race-neutral method that would work to increase racial diversity on selective college campuses, and it happens to align with the supposed social-justice goals of highly selective schools: giving a clearly defined, substantial boost to low-income applicants. Neither the University of Michigan nor the University of California embraced that method, and so far, it seems likely that no other university will try it either.”
Some years ago, I have a recollection that the University of Texas (I think) had a policy where the if students finished in the top 10 or top 10% of the class, they would be accepted.
ReplyDeleteYep. He does cover that in the column.
