The College Board's "Adversity score" for the SAT is merely a belated confirmation of how admissions committees have used these scores.
For decades, colleges and universities have been interpreting SAT scores to give preference to racial minorities on the fatuous basis that somehow skin color produced intellectual diversity.
I'm the only black student in the class, and I got the lowest score, the student responded.
Evanston Township High School consider removing its AP courses because of racial disparity in admissions.
Some two decades ago, University of Michigan professor of philosophy Carl Cohen came across the university's "Confidential" admissions guidelines that showed a dramatic racial bias where black applicants with minimal entrance scores were accepted at a 100% rate while white applicants with the same scores were accepted at the rate of 12%. Similar disparities existed in the university's law and medical school admissions.
Like the adversity standard, the sympathy grade reflects the student's background when assigning a grade and the fact that the institutional bureaucracy will not tolerate failing rates for students whose retention is vital to the institution's cultural audit.
It harms all applicants, including the ones it is supposed to help, for the acknowledgement of adversity admissions implicitly communicates that the granting of adversity degrees will follow.
