鉴于黑人和拉丁美洲人的SAT分数比亚裔和白色同龄人略低,美国的精英学院和大学使用平权行动政策来实现多样性。平权行动的批评者认为,这导致代表性不足的少数群体的成绩较低和辍学率较高。使用教育纵向研究,一个全国代表性的纵向数据集,我们研究了SAT不匹配和大学成绩之间的关系,为学生在选择性机构。我们发现,不匹配是不相关的毕业从一个选择性的机构,但与较低的成绩。不匹配和成绩之间的负相关关系适用于所有种族-民族群体,而不仅仅是黑人和拉丁美洲人,并且对学习成绩的预测性低于高中平均成绩。因此,尽管不匹配可能会降低学生在名牌大学的表现,但似乎并不能阻止那些可能受益于平权行动的学生从美国精英教育机构获得重要证书。
American selective colleges and universities use affirmative action policies to achieve diversity, given blacks and Latinos have somewhat lower SAT scores than their Asian and white peers. Critics of affirmative action argue that this results in lower grades and greater dropout among underrepresented minority groups. Using the Educational Longitudinal Study, a nationally representative longitudinal data set, we examine the relationship between SAT mismatch and college outcomes for students at selective institutions. We find that mismatch is not associated with graduation from a selective institution, but is associated with lower grades. The negative relationship between mismatch and grades holds for all racial-ethnic groups, not just blacks and Latinos, and is less predictive of academic performance than is high school grade point average. Thus, although mismatch may lower performance at selective colleges, it does not appear to prevent students who may have benefitted from affirmative action from obtaining important credentials from America’s elite educational institutions.
