| h/t Gates of Vienna [Campus Reform] - Colleges and universities are changing both admissions and curriculum requirements in order to create more ’diversity’ within their student bodies. These changes often involve lowering of standards, and an implication that students from certain backgrounds cannot score as high on tests as their peers. |

| #2 This spells the end of academic merit as the main decision factor in elite university admissions, to be replaced by crude social engineering. It means that, for the "test-optional" university, the admissions process will be driven toward predetermined ethnic, social and financial outcomes. It's really not a big step from current practice - as the Harvard trial's massive data sets and evidence revealed. They already engineer the admissions process to ensure desired social outcomes: - 30% athlete/legacy/dependent children of staff; - 28% underrepresented minority; - 30% from about 70-80 elite schools located primarily in New England and New York City; - Not more than 20% Asian domestic/US |
