I am curious as to the bottom line. Did all these students flunk out after their freshman year?

Oh, and in true FR tradition, I did not read the article.

SAT scores should provide a firewall against blatant fraud.

Of course, I gather that at least some elite colleges are now downplaying SAT's because they get in the way of virtue signaling in the admissions office.

Why is college tuition so high? Ans: It’s high only for Whitey and Chinese. They’re the ones paying the tuition for the non-achievers, who get in free.

Is it too much to ask to be evaluated on your own merits?

Wouldn’t that be “...ist”? Racist, sexist, tranny-ist and so forth.

100 percent acceptance rate? That did not raise any red flags? Someone did not want to know the truth. A lot of someones.

Here's a link to a video accompanying the article that lays it out.

Most schools nowadays consider SAT scores on a race-based curve. A minority (except asian) student’s SAT score will be treated the same as a non-minority who scores 100 or 200 points higher.
