They shouldn't promote more attendance by letting in people with lower test scores. Besides the social effects prescribed in the article, it is inherently unfair and goes against the spirit of 'non-discrimination by race.' Instead what they should do is provide more support to those students of color who are unable to attend college for financial reasons. If there is systematic oppression going on then this has manifested in the fact that people of color don't have the same financial resources as other races. By addressing poverty we address the real issue and we fix the problem by bringing up one side instead of pushing the other down.
