Why race matters in school admissions

Why race matters in school admissions


On the article called “Why race matters in school admissions” you can hear a perspective that is very unique on this times. Lately very little people talk about race or ethnicity because this will be considered racism and everyone would object of it.

 

On it Martha L. Minowthe dean of Harvard Law School talks that they want the best students in their class they think that if there is a better environment everyone will learn more.

 

As we see on the 8th paragraph ”The holistic evaluation of applicants not only allows us to select the best possible candidates, it also enables us to assemble the best possible entering class.” This sound really closed to ideas for me they cant sat that someone is less than just because their race.

 

This paragraph has a lot of closed minded ideas and should not be tolerated they cant judge ethnicity to se if you can enter to one of the best schools of the us. In the article it also says that students learn more by peer discussing than regular class and that is why they try to pick better students but I cant understand how someone can really think that people with different races cant have a good conversation

 

 Harvard school and many others need to understand that everyone has the same ability to learn and that the race does not affect the learning ability or the intelligence of a person.
