Yes, I believe that universities should consider using different admissions standards for different racial groups in order to promote equity. Education inequity continues to exist due to decades of disparities in access and opportunity, including access to quality education and preparation for standardized tests. Furthermore, the current standardize testing system is known to be biased against certain racial groups. In order to address these inequalities and provide a more level playing field, universities may need to set different admissions standards for various racial groups in order achieve true fairness.

Yes, I do think that universities should use different admissions standards for different racial groups in order to promote equity. Educational inequity has historically disadvantaged students of color, and standardized testing often compounds the problem by disproportionately harming these students. Therefore, I believe it is necessary for universities to consider using alternative admissions criteria in order to level the playing field and provide equal opportunities for all students.
