What is the size and percentage of the African-American middle/upper class? What are the numbers of middle/upper class African-Americans admitted to universities in proportion to the above question? What is the legal definition of "economically disadvantaged"? What percentage of the population are the "economically disadvantaged" and what is their admission rate (to all universities)? Basically, I'm looking for percentages of minorities as a whole accepted versus their representation in the population, and then again only considering those who are economically successful. You can report as many numbers/statistics as you want, I'm not looking for a short and quick answer. |

I have occasionally seen numbers, but I suspect they are mostly educated guesses. Generally it is not considered politically correct to ask a person about their minority status, if any. It is risky to record your guess reguarding the minority status. Charges of discrimination can result, even if you are reverse prejudiced = think minorities should get lots of affirmative action, set asides, and quotas. Can you prove you are reverse discrinatory? My personal observation is minorities who have employment are slightly inferior to whites in essentually the same job, so I conclude minorities have equal opportunities with whites of the same skill and attitude. That is average. I have observed a few glaring exceptions in all directions. I have no recent contact with Universities or their students, but my guess is minorities are rarely excluded who have comparable probabilities of passing the courses. Do you think we should dumb down our Universities? Neil |
