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.
I personally know of a law school that had a "crisis" meeting because all their first year black male students flunked out about 10 years ago.
Then they had a scandal because the law school paid for tutoring availble ONLY to black males to minimize the first year flunk out rate for black males. When the secret program was revealed it was "abolished" but at the same time the law school introduced a new black only scholarship to pay for tutors.
At least the Bar Examiners did not cave to dual track pass grades.
The Affirmative Action Bake sale had it right.
