The problem is that there are vastly more low-income White households than low-income Black households, meaning income isn’t as solid a proxy for race as it may seem. Using family wealth as an admissions factor has more potential because the racial gap in families’ net worth is even more staggering than the racial gap in their yearly incomes: White Americans have 10 times more wealth than Black Americans. Advocates of this approach point to UCLA’s law school, which has such a policy, to show its success. So wealth is something of a proxy for race, though by no means a perfect one.

Texas A&M President Resigns Amid Fallout Over Journalism Program

“I said, ‘What’s wrong?’” Ms. McElroy recalled of her conversation with the dean, José Luis Bermúdez. “He said, ‘You’re a Black woman who was at The New York Times and, to these folks, that’s like working for Pravda.’” Ms. McElroy, who left The Times in 2011, did not immediately return a call seeking comment on Friday.

Why not just give everyone a college admissions test when they apply and pick the people at the top?

You score in the top 70% you get in.

Simple as that.

What is a "college admissions test?"
Click to expand...

It would be some sort of cognitive test to determine skill levels in I suppose English, writing, math, and whatever else they want to throw in there.

Also don't forget that anyone can go to a state university or community college so not every college is Ivy League rules.
