Appreciate the careful reading. No, it was not driven by that paper alone (although it was eventually peer-reviewed and published in The B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy; Do School Counselors Exhibit Bias in Recommending Students for Advanced Coursework?)). The core insight that all aspects of the application process — not just the SAT — are subject to both explicit and implicit bias is robust and well-supported across the literature, which is why — as I said earlier — we have to try to interpretively account for them in our process.
