Date: April 4th, 2015 4:16 PM Author: Boyish School Cafeteria yeah man. that isn't really the best way to define "disparate", but you would've gotten 4/4 right on a multiple choice test, which is the standard I'd use. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2846908&forum_id=2#27619895) |

Date: April 4th, 2015 4:18 PM Author: beta depressive Whooo.
Yeah, I just checked disparate and it's a little different from what I expected. Seems odd, though, because its use in "disparate impact" implies inequality, not simply being so different as to prevent comparison. Heck, the idea of "disparate impact" is that you ARE comparing two groups and finding that one is doing a lot better. |
