That explains why they've had such an increase in Freshmen taking remedial English and math before taking their foundation classes.

There was a black member of the faculty at U. Chicago (IIRC) who was puzzled over why there were such a lot of minorities in remedial class when they were in the top 5% of the population.

Then he discovered that the whites/asians at the U. were in the top 0.5%, or so. He concluded that the black kids would have done fine at a college where the rest of the students were in the top 5%, but were being set up to fail by this diversity admissions crap.
