A scholar on the issue of affirmative action recently concluded another study that reaffirms that many racial minorities are being left behind in college because they enroll in schools they are not academically qualified to attend.
Furthermore, his research has found the effect of placing students in schools that are not a good fit for their academic ability could be larger than previously thought.
University of California Los Angeles Professor Richard Sander spoke to The College Fix about his findings with University of Arkansas Professor Robert Steinbuch.
The pair have a new paper coming out which concluded that “mismatch” has created “large admissions preferences that create big credential gaps between the students who receive preferences and their classmates.”
