WSJ: Boycotting Medical Schools, Diversity, And Merit

TaxProf Blog--WSJ: Boycotting Medical Schools, Diversity, And Merit--Wall Street Journal Op-Ed
"A growing number of medical schools have announced that they will no longer share data with U.S. News & World Report. 
These schools claim that the magazine’s annual rankings hinder their ability to increase diversity.
Such claims aren’t supported by evidence.
  • ...Even a casual reader of the news knows perfectly well that increasing diversity means exactly that—admitting students with lower scores... 
  • If all these students had equally high scores, and schools could promote racial diversity without lowering standards, we wouldn’t be having this debate, right?
