WildestDream, what mom2collegekids posted is a fact. I don’t think there is anything in her post that attributes the lower ACT percentile at UA solely to the lower AVERAGE ACT score of its Black students
If the avg ACT of Black students across the country is that lower than White students, then of course it is much more likely that the Black students who enroll at UA are also less qualified. If Black students in Alabama were on AVERAGE as qualified as White students, their percentage at UA would be closer to their percentage of the state population. No one likes pointing these facts out, but to understand the context (a context missing in most states with much lower AA population) of UA’s “student quality” it is one key fact to point out. And no one here has argued WHY the quality of Black students is on AVERAGE, lower. So why the snarky and moralistic response?
