Gratz Can Suck It Part 2

So, I made have more to add to this arena later, but here is more information from another Inside Higher Ed article in the realm of affirmative action, this time in regards to the University of Texas at Austin's use of race in admissions decisions:

diversity is a legitimate goal for a college to have for the way it educates all students

and

"Given the test score gaps between minority and non-minority applicants, if holistic review was not designed to evaluate each individual’s contributions to UT-Austin’s diversity, including those that stem from race, holistic admissions would approach an all-white enterprise,"

Fisher, the student involved in this lawsuit, stated:

"It is a shame that for the last six years, hundreds of UT applicants were denied admission because of UT’s racial and ethnic preferences."

I would like to point out that when admissions reviewers do not make a conscious effort to consider (non-white) ethnicity and race, the bias tends towards white males--in other words, hundreds of applicants who are not white males would be denied admission...Again, how easy it is to complain about this issue when you are among the privileged majority.
