I am waiting for the federal investigation of basketball scholarships, which certainly have a disparate impact.

Fine. No more scholarships for anyone. If they don’t like academic scholarships for high academic achievement, then they need to eliminate ALL scholar ships including those that reward athletic achievement. No more government grants either.

My daughter busted her behind keeping her grades excellent and volunteering 100’s of hours of community service to qualify. Sounds like the gemedats want some “pie”.

We know what the solution will be-lower the standards, have a two-tier system (lower for “minorities).

Including GPAs already biases it toward minorities, who tend to have a lower level of competition for grades in their schools.

If it were really merit based, it would be based straight on the SATs—or adjusted according to the average SAT scores at individual schools.

Oh, and students who score below 1170 on the SAT probably ought to be commuter students to a community college anyway.

Show me the offended party! Show me the minority student who applied and was denied when a “privileged” white student got the award over the minority. Until such time don’t bother me with statistics. Better use of your time would be to find and help minority students improve their grades.
