What if there was no affirmative action at America's business schools?

Article Abstract:

The United States Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit ruling in the Hopwood case necessitates consideration of what would happen if the admissions committees of high-caliber business schools could no longer use race as a factor in their decisions. Statistics show that African Americans accepted by business schools have slightly lower GPAs and GMAT scores than whites. Asians have the highest scores and if race were not a consideration, Asian enrollment at top business schools would increase greatly, while African American enrollment would go way down. Most major corporations recruit at top-quality business schools, so the African American presence at such corporations would go way down as well.

The impact of a rollback of affirmative action on the nation's major MBA programs

Article Abstract:

Reversal of affirmation action programs in California and Texas will lead to lower admission rates of black students into prestigious business schools. Administrators who do not consider race upon admission must weigh heavily on test scores. The Graduate Management Admission Council shows very few black students score at levels high enough to gain admission into the highest-rated business schools. American business must, and do, recognize the importance of becoming a racially diverse company and have supported affirmative action.
