Not wanting to argue -- seriously curious as to what real solutions you see
out there that would be effective and that are realistically available.
Also curious as to why you be be opposed to admitting a higher number (a pre-determined percentage) of certain categories of minority students (lower bar than other students, but a certain standard, to be sure) for at least the purpose of having more people with education and power to act for the betterment of the communities they come from.
As for me on this issue, they key to success goes beyond admissions... it has to be based on effective ways to get those students to perform at on-par or better academically before the half-way point of receiving their degree and making sure they complete and earn their degrees. Then encouraging post-graduate work. I happen to believe that despite where you start, most (but not all) people, have the capacity to perform well academically given the right support/tools to get there.
Not wanting to argue progressive/liberal/conservative/birch-society values... I'm interested in a serious discussion about pragmatic, realistically implementable, effective solutions for improving the lot entire groups of people who are facing very real and devastating problems.
