I really hope so, as there is so much wrong with it. To begin with, the 80% rule creates an impossible standard of "diversity" that doesn't match the reality of how different groups of people have different tendencies and preferences.

The impossible standard mixed with the conflicting doctrines of Disparate Treatment and Disparate Impact mean that every major company has to settle diversity lawsuits for hundreds of millions or into the billions of dollars, no matter what their policy is.

de Blasio already thought about this. The criteria has nothing to do with race, and is clearly about academic performance. The intended outcome and policy itself is driven internally by diversity, but the actual criteria doesn't (and probably cannot) mention race in any way, shape or form.
