Date: August 9th, 2012 7:11 AM Author: exhilarant black area the UT briefing on the new affirmative action plan concedes that black and latino admissions rose once they dropped AA and went to the 10% plan. UT argues that under the old AA system they admitted richer blacks and latinos -- and that that is better. but better for who?

Date: August 9th, 2012 8:09 AM Author: exhilarant black area it's unacceptable to the libs at UT because they want as elite a school as possible. that means as tough as possible admissions standard for whites and asians and a second admission system for blacks and latinos (that will favor the richer URMs, ones with a white parent, or foreign ones).
what's particularly crass about the UT position is that they are glad to reject the poor blacks and latinos who want to move up the socio-economic ladder. |

Date: August 9th, 2012 8:14 AM Author: 180 garrison boistinker I agree with them about the old system being better. Wasting slots on 95 IQ morons who did okay at a ghetto school benefits no one. I would prefer to abolis lh affirmative action altogether, but screw this system. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2018697&forum_id=2#21295169) |
