[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=AN] Can we use the same logic in the private sector?[/quote]
Actually, hiring and admission in the private sector is a lot more opaque.
For instance, the UC has to account for its admission standards. Compare that to the ivy league where they don’t feel as much pressure to admit students with the highest scores. If I recall Asians are only about 13% at the Ivy league.
As society becomes more complex, more standards, rules and procedures are introduced. Academic standards or exam results become objective measures of merit. That’s worrying parents whose kids don’t do well academically.[/quote]This is not about opaqueness. It’s about overt and transparent discrimination. I’m pretty sure if a private company say, we take race into consideration when we’re hiring, they will be sued until they will no longer do that.
