Reminds me of this asian professor getting blocked for promotion, allegedly, on the basis of race, but in a roundabout way. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/professor-sues-texas-unive...
replyYes, they falsely classified him as white in order to deny him the promotion (because discriminating against white people is 100% non-controversial in that environment)
replyI think it's just indians being racist. The person could've put any other non white category and it would've happened.
replyThey could have easily made test scores a pass/fail per program and not weight higher scores for admission purposes. It achieves the goal of ensuring students have requisite knowledge for the program while not favoring students who are able to ace the test.
replyOr, even better - just expand programs so they can accept more students who pass the test. This would probably improve diversity without artificially restricting access to highish performers.
To expand the UC system to accommodate everyone who could do the work would require repealing Prop 13, much harder.
reply(minor typo: repeated --> repealed. Sorry for the nitpicking but it confused me when I first read it)
replyNo that's valid to call out, thanks
