It would be fairly simple to implement. Don’t ask for names or sex or race or religion or national origin on the applications or the transcripts or the SAT tests. Nit even an address, or the name of their school. Just use a unique identifier for the student and another one for their school which would give a sense for whether there is grade inflation at that school. (Example, school A12029 has a 93% graduation rate with an average GPA of 3.3 would indicate they are handing out As and Bs like heart candies on Valentine’s Day (though I think that is banned now lol). Then almost all evaluation would be based on competency alone.
Except, there would be loopholes in the extracurricular activities statements and the written essays. Students could or would write about what they do outside of school and this would give hints if not outright explanations of race, origin, religion, orientation and other narrow interests.
And further, the next generation will be about 35% smaller in population size… so there will be fewer potential students… and the rise of AI will make a lot of Bachelor of Arts degrees an irrelevant field of study for undergraduates. It may be a problem that resolves itself.
That won’t suffice. So far, standardized tests, being on time, maths, insistence on proper English, even meritocracy itself has been deemed racist by the ever-so-compassionate left.
