Studies show that minority engineers who are granted undeserved access to high performance engineering programs (ex MIT) fail at much higher levels than expected
Worse, when finally challenged (perhaps for the first time in their lives) they are so overwhelmed and humiliated by their peers; they most abandoned engineering entirely. Where they may have done well at a state university or community college; and gone on to a (much needed) career in tech; the “preference system” did far more harm than good

No way the could not have seen that coming before the studies confirmed what should have been known to begin with.
