Wait wait... you say he doesn't state facts, even though all you've done is make baseless accusations and opinions in all of your posts?
Why do you so adamantly refuse to look at yourself in the mirror? |

(User Info | Send a Message) | I can provide more detailed info on tuition if you want, but it'd be a lengthy read.
The College Board doesn't release SAT data segregated by race anymore since it's trying to be politically correct. But blacks are outperformed handily on standardized tests.
Consider the National Achievement program. Not enough blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans were scoring high enough to be National Merit Scholars, so they created the National Achievement Scholars.
If you look at this site, http://www.lagriffedulion.f2s.com/testing.htm, you’ll see SAT data desegregated by race. Check out this table here: http://www.lagriffedulion.f2s.com/testing.htm#APPENDIX%20B
The conclusions for this study were the following:
“Black children from the wealthiest families have mean SAT scores lower than white children from families below the poverty line,” and “Black children of parents with graduate degrees have lower SAT scores than white children of parents with a high-school diploma or less.”
Similarly for law school admissions, in the last Michigan case, this was in a brief:
“Some 2,999 applicants across the nation equaled or exceeded petitioner’s 3.8 UGPA and 161 LSAT score, of whom 25 were black... If admissions were based solely on the UGPA/LSAT index, then that number, dispersed evenly among the ten most selective schools, would leave fewer than three black students in each class – at institutions with class sizes ranging from 150 to 650.”

(User Info | Send a Message) | If you read the news as much as you say you do, you should be familiar with him. He made big news earlier this year. His study was published by Stanford Law School, a crappy school that I'm sure you haven't heard of and is sure to be losing its accreditation soon.
You can read his study here: http://www.law.ucla.edu/sander/Systemic/SA.htm
His study was so obscure that it made the New York Times. The article is called, “For Blacks in Law School, Can Less Be More?” from February 13th, 2005. You can read it here: http://www.law.ucla.edu/sander/Systemic/media/ForBlacksinLawSchool,CanLessBeMore2.pdf
The basic conclusion was that 50% of blacks end up in the bottom 10% of their law school classes. This causes them to flunk out more, and subsequently there are fewer black lawyers because of this academic mismatch caused by affirmative action. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | I supposed the DB stands for douchebag,
Just becasue someone who published a study that casued a firestorm in the legal profession is unknown to you, he doesnt qualify. Sorry, but all that proves that you are sophomoric and provincial and should remove your head from between your cheeks sometime and find out about the world. The professor's study was published in Stanford Law Review last year and the man came to my school, Touro Law School, to engage two professors in whether Affirmative action does hurt blacks.
I would admit there are some lurking variables he does not account for, but overall I think he made a rather powerful statistic argument. |
