Scalia: Black students do better at 'less-advanced' schools than UT

Black students may do better at "slower-track" schools than the University of Texas at Austin, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said Wednesday as the state's flagship defended its race-conscious admissions policies before the high court.
Scalia, a well-known critic of affirmative action policies at stake in the case, also suggested that black scholars come from "less-advanced" schools.
"Most of the black scientists in this country don't come from schools like the University of Texas," he said, citing a brief, according to transcripts from the hearing. "They come from lesser schools where they do not feel that they're -- that they're being pushed ahead in -- in classes that are too -- too fast for them.
UT is defending its consideration of race in admissions for about a quarter of incoming students. Three-quarters of UT's incoming class is automatically admitted through a state law granting admission to the top-ranked high school graduates in Texas.
The Texas Exes, UT's alumni group, said in a tweet Wednesday that Scalia's comments were "racist and offensive."

UT has broad backing, but higher education leaders and civil rights groups are concerned that Abigail Fisher, a white woman from Sugar Land who says she was discriminated against when UT rejected her in 2008, could strike a serious blow to affirmative action.

The core of UT's argument is that it needs to consider race to ensure diversity among its student body -- a goal supported by the U.S. government, the country's biggest businesses, former military leaders and many more, who filed dozens of briefs in UT's favor.
Scalia, however, questioned whether UT needs to increase its black student population -- which currently makes up about 4 percent of the student body and has not grown in a decade.

"I'm just not impressed by the fact that – that the University of Texas may have fewer (black students). Maybe it ought to have fewer," Scalia said. "I don't think it – it – it stands to reason that it's a good thing for the University of Texas to admit as many blacks as possible."

Bump Justice Scalia for truth!

Speaking of less advanced schools, in a healthy White educational environment "African-American" and "math professor" are mutually exclusive terms. :lol:

Hawaii Prof To White Guys:
‘Get Out Of The Way’


UPDATED: An African-American female math professor makes a provocative point about the over-representation of white males in academia. UH president defends freedom of expression.

A University of Hawaii faculty member is causing a stir in conservative media circles by suggesting that white men need to quit their jobs to make room for minorities and women.

Piper Harron, a temporary assistant professor in mathematics at UH Manoa, is African-American.

In a May 11 blog post, Harron expressed frustration at the lack of minority and female representation in the work place, in particular academia.

“Not to alarm you, but I probably want you to quit your job, or at least take a demotion,” Harron wrote in the post, titled “Get Out The Way.” “Statistically speaking, you are probably taking up room that should go to someone else. If you are a white cis man (meaning you identify as male and you were assigned male at birth) you almost certainly should resign from your position of power.” Harron continues:
“That’s right, please quit. Too difficult? Well, as a first step, at least get off your hiring committee, your curriculum committee, and make sure you’re replaced by a woman of color or trans person. Don’t have any in your department? HOW SHOCKING.”

At least she's counting heads correctly. White male performance in fields such as math is simply superior, and her complaints validate this---though she may be doing so unwittingly.
