"Is It Fair to Award Scholarships Based on the SAT? Colleges are asking this question as they seek more diversity in their student bodies, worry that white students disproportionately score higher and compete for students with merit aid"

An even better question is it fair to give scholarships and admission based on ones race and ethnicity?

Ps
When I went to pharmacy school all were admitted based on academic ability. Most were white, about 15 percent were of other ethnics. It should be noted that the orientals were the most excellent students.

Forgot to add this. I worked for a black pharmacist for twenty years in a hospital. I had been management in the past and hated it. I want back to staff under my black friend as my boss. By his skills he most deserved his position and he was my friend. I think this is they way it is supposed to work. In my many years working for this man and friendship with him the subject of race never came up once with one exception. I had my DNA tested and found out I was slightly less that one percent black. I went to his office and told him of the results. I asked him, “can I now call you Bro.? We both laughed our ass off and just went back to work.
