Given the history of educational inequity and the disproportionate effects of standardized testing on students of color, do you think that universities should use different admissions standards for different racial groups in order to promote equity?

No, I do not think that universities should use different admissions standards for different racial groups in order to promote equity. Universities should aim to create an admissions process that is fair and equitable for all applicants regardless of race. Instead, universities should focus on addressing historic educational inequities by developing more comprehensive policies and initiatives that explicitly seek to give students of color access to resources and opportuniarites as they pursue higher education.

It is clear from the history of educational inequity that there is a need for increased equity in university admissions. While different admissions standards for different racial groups should not be viewed as a long-term solution, I believe that such standards could help to provide a more level playing field for students of color in the short term, ultimately leading to more equitable outcomes across all racial groups.
