if people who have been historically quantifiably discriminated against and disqualified based on that discrimination, how can that imbalance be corrected?

By helping to make them qualified to pass the tests.

  • How, exactly? Perhaps by encouraging schools to accept more people from those groups?

    • more isnt the problem. or its not the first problem.

      >predictions suggested only 3% of black applicants would pass.

      Thats not '3% of the applicants are black'. It's '3% of black applicants pass the test'

      Starting there alone would yield meaningful results - at the end of the day, you gotta pass the test. Changing the test so more people pass is illogical and dangerous.
