Behind paywall. Here is the key points:

"the Common App found that Black applicants marked “yes” more than twice as often as white applicants. Black women were three times as likely as white women to say they’d been disciplined. And those who did give affirmative responses submitted applications at a lower rate."

Colleges are moving away from SAT/ACT. Won't ask about disciplinary records. What's next, not asking for grades? Just a diploma and essays I guess.

Essays? That requires writing ability and would be “systemically racist.”

The goal is to ask one question: What is your race? If the answer is white or Asian, then the application is discarded.

I got my BS in the last decade, and one of my teachers at the time, in Business Communications class told me she’d refer me to the master program. Well I took forever to get my BS, and MS is a distant possibility and I don’t remember her and she doesn’t remember me I’m sure but you still need a recommended letter and GRE/GMAT to get to MS level.

That’s the breaks kids. College ain’t cheap, might not pay off, even at the best tech schools. This ‘blacks get a free pass’ stuff is really, really sickening.. Even blacks don’t really like it, it’s all white guilt.

Well, I’m glad they didn’t ask that question when I applied for college :-)

The Common Application is scrapping a question that asks applicants to reveal whether they have been subject to disciplinary action in high school, aiming to eliminate what it says could be an obstacle for Black students considering college.

This is an overtly racist assumption.

Anything to bring down the USA. And there are plenty of well meaning tools helping them out.

What no one addresses is that kids who go to majority black public schools often have mostly black teachers and principals. So who is writing them up?

The current way to cut black crime and lawlessness is just not to charge them with any offenses, hence their crime number drop dramatically. And all is well, until you encounter one of these people.
