Harvard Prof: Merit-based admissions 'reproduce inequality'
h/t InstapunditA Harvard University professor claims in a new academic study that merit-based admission processes at elite universities "reproduce inequality." Harvard education professor Natasha Warikoo draws on interviews with 98 white, native-born students at Harvard, Brown University, and the University of Oxford in "What Meritocracy Means to its Winners: Admissions, Race, and Inequality," published in the journal Social Sciences. During interviews Warikoo conducted between 2009 and 2011, these students were asked to sound-off on whether they felt their school had meritocratic admissions and if they supported affirmative action. Many answered the second question affirmatively and hailed the benefits of a diverse student body. Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2018-09-09 |
