THE AMY WAX SAGA:   Professor Wax stands accused of making minority students feel bad.  Alas, a lot of what she has to say is simply the obvious and true:  Minority students who receive preferential treatment in admissions (or any students who receive preferential treatment) will, on average, do less well than students who weren’t given preferential treatment. Duh.  That’s why schools established admissions standards in the first place.

Yesterday, the Academic Freedom Alliance (of which I am a founding member) sent a letter defending Professor Wax.
