For anyone interested -
Review the effects of the current Texas system. it is really shocking.
When the news talks about it - they say “you can get into UT if in top 10% of graduating HS class” - and it sounds like simple sop to the minorities - and you figure - well - still top 10% - right?
BUT - the play continues - if you are in top 25%, and score X on the test - you also get in.
Now the “X” is set fairly low - but in a white school - top 25% wouldn’t score that low - but in a minority school - etc -
anyway - it is bizarre - people are moving TO minority school districts - because it is so much easier to get into UT from a bad school district.
It is really a crazy system - but you can imagine - how much they had to screw with the numbers - try to get 10-20% blacks into UT.
