| "I don't know many schools (never mind top schools) that have race quotas.
Affirmative action tends to be socioeconomic/cultural."
While it may be true that they don't have explicit quotas, it's pretty obvious that they use holistic emissions to ensure that they achieve rough racial balance. They all keep track of racial balance as well. I'm also extremely skeptical about whether schools in fact base AA primarily on socioeconomic and cultural status. Note that I'm not saying that the schools are wrong to do what they do--I just think we should be realistic about what is actually happening. |
