Interesting article but a copout.
It is clear that the preferred conclusion is that racial preferences have no significant effect. That is despite examples of candidates with preference admissions taking easier majors, being passed and graduating despite repeated plagiarism and subpar work.
The author even alluded to the fact that schools lower their academic standards to keep those students from dropping out but...nothing to see here... move along ... it’s all good as long as we kowtow to the cant of the left.
Truth is that racial preference is based on the bigotry of low expectations and cheapens the degrees and standing of all people in the preference groups, many of whom would have excelled with or without preferences, but are grouped with those who were faux scholars.
It diminishes the academic excellence of all American graduates and the knowledge base of the American workforce.
It debases the currency of science & logic and corrodes morality, eviscerates meritocracy which is the basis of our classless society (where anyone can succeed with talent, drive, luck and above all hard work). But hey. It’s all good.
