Redefining Diversity, Re-evaluating Merit
Should Harvard begin taking “low performers” for diversity?! (And not just for sports…☺) Read the quote below.
“Diversity is not simply a matter of having people who look different sitting next to each other but learning in the same way……Studies show that groups made up of the highest-performing individuals are not as good at solving complex multidimensional problems…..as groups with a mix of skills, backgrounds and ways of thinking, even if the individuals in the group are not all high performers.”
“The score on your SATs or other exams is a better predictor of your parents’ income and the car they drive than of your performance in college.”
