Now that the Harvard suit reminds us to wonder how can we "fairly" admit college students, I remind the world that it would be fair to use prediction markets tied to many fair outcomes, like GPA, graduation rates, etc. https://www.overcomingbias.com/2012/12/college-admission-markets.html …https://www.economist.com/united-states/2018/06/23/a-lawsuit-reveals-how-peculiar-harvards-definition-of-merit-is …
That's re prediction future wages conditional on admission. But do you really think funny names hurt much re GPA or graduation rates?

Oh, sorry. I should have read closer. I think racial bias could play a role when student work is graded in a non-blind fashion, yes... maybe not as big a problem at Harvard but minorities more likely to have to work during college, not have $$ for random expenses
