You can scream as long and loud as you want to.

It won’t change the facts.

Don’t post me until you learn to read.

Well - you are close -

In Texas - I think the rules for admission are based on High School class rank.

If you go to a minority/hispanic school =- pretty easy to come in top 25% - or whatever the magic cutoff point is.

Not FORMAL minority advantage - but an intentional mechanism to help lower performing minorities gain admission.

You were right to jump the comment - but Texas has some odd rules that - in practice - assist lower performing minorities.

This is a misrepresentation of the facts and you know it.

The net effect of strategic behavior is to slightly decrease minority students’ representation in the pool

What part of DECREASE do you not understand?
