Fair and Unbiased Admission Procedures for South African Institutions of Higher Education.
Hyusamen, G. K.
South African Journal of Higher Education, v10 n2 p199-207 1996
South Africa's post-apartheid college admission strategies show that initially, applicants may be accepted or rejected solely based on academic merit. If predictors are found to be biased at this stage, they may be statistically adjusted. Subsequently, representation of specific groups may be considered using quotas, but also with consideration for financial constraints. (MSE)
