ACT spokesman has a good point. I think the university will find this will lead to a reduced graduation rate, and less seats available for students who have a high probability of making it through the program.

As of 2016, the school recorded 43% of the new undergraduate class being white - already far below the national demographics. The only over represented group is Asians at 18%. This plan seems born of the usual trend in the past few years, with the goal of reducing Asian membership.
