MIT Reversed Its Position on the SAT. How About Racial Preferences Next?
Wall Street Journal | Hans von Spakovsky
An MIT alum applauds MIT’s reinstatement of standardized test admission requirements but bemoans the fact that “the school has not done anything to end the racially discriminatory admissions policies it implemented in the 1990s.”
He compares MIT’s racial preferences to CalTech’s admissions (they don’t use racial preferences), showing how Asian-Americans comprise 25% of an MIT class vs. 40% at CalTech, the latter paralleling the rise of Asian undergraduates overall nationally. The alum concludes by saying that '“no alumnus should give MIT any funding or support and the school should lose its holier-than-thou attitude.”
