Race shouldn’t be a consideration in whether to admit a particular student. But it should be used on an ongoing basis to ensure that the admission process is applied fairly.

Then, if it’s determined that there’s a racial bias in admissions, the root cause should be analyzed and corrected. Are students of one race better prepared academically? That’s a problem that needs to be fixed at the high school level (or earlier). If you admit students who aren’t prepared for college-level courses, you either have to spend resources on remedial classes, or have a lot of students from that race drop out.

Are students of one race more able to pay? If we want everyone to have the same chance at education regardless of background, maybe college should be fully government-funded.

While not confirmed (AFAIK), it’s likely we went from Windows 8 straight to 10. With 95/98 being so similar, it wasn’t rare for software to recognize it by looking for “Windows 9” in the OS name.

That’s a very easily solved problem. You generate a code-signing certificate (already used all over the place, and why Windows occasionally tells you that software “isn’t trusted”).

You then verify that certificate in the presence of observers from all parties. At the same time that you verify the anti-tamper tags on the ballot boxes.

The parties only have to trust the person they assigned as an observer.
