Document Summary
Both have performance effects and psychological effect. You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, You are free to compete with all the others, and still justly believe that you have been completely fair. Quality component: higher quality (i. e. , more selective) colleges lead to better student outcomes. Fit component: match between the demands of the college and the academic preparedness of the student. If a program is too difficult, student outcomes suffer. Mismatch hypothesis (sander 2004; sander & taylor 2012) The beneficiaries of aa are so misplaced that the negative effects of mismatch outweigh the positive effects of higher quality schools. Reshuffling some african-american students to less selective schools would improve some outcomes due to [mis]match effects dominating quality effects (arcidiacono & lovenheim 2016)
