True. But that is the same as saying "lowering the qualifications of the law school applicant (LSAT, GPA) does not lower the standards required for getting through law school."
No. You have it backwards:
The affirmative action candidate going to law school is accepted with a lower SAT score than others who have higher scores. Based on socio-economic factors, generally.
The affirmative action student has the same standards applied once in law school. He is graded the same as everyone else. He does not receive special grading.
The problem is affirmative action prevents more qualified students from attending.
You're wearing me out!
