The way I read the article, it seemed to me the point was that Asians and whites were outscoring "non-asian" minorities on the tests in question. I strongly doubt that 70% of the engineering department at any school is asian as has been suggested, however I see no reason to lower the bar to insure that unqualified candidates of any ethnicity make it into the program. We should be striving for academic excellence instead of creating academic excuses. I don't see how we can expect to compete globally if we sell out our educational programs for fuzzy headed notions that seem to place more value on how the student body looks as opposed to its performance.
