 UNC says race-blind admissions would let in dumber students

Socioeconomic diversity isn’t good enough for us

Harvard University’s fight against an admissions discrimination lawsuit by Asian-American plaintiffs has sucked up most of the media attention for the past several months.

But the same plaintiff group, Students for Fair Admissions, is also suing the University of North Carolina on the same grounds, and UNC’s defense of its race-conscious admissions protocol may raise a few eyebrows.

Both sides filed briefs in federal court Friday, Inside Higher Ed reports, “outlining for the first time in detail their takes on the issues at Chapel Hill.” UNC’s take: We need to look at race in admissions to uphold our academic standards.

Dumber students?  Shouldn't that have been less qualified - if you believe only academic considerations brings in less qualified students.
