re: How are blacks not underrepresented in the LSU admissions process?

Is a much stronger argument than this: “Bias in favor of blacks and against whites.”

Not really for Tate’s time there. There is nothing organic about how fast blacks have increased at LSU under Tate including from out of state while at the same time whites have not just been decreasing in % but in numbers as well even as enrollment exploded.

Blacks made up 14.4% of incoming freshman class in 2019 (885 total incoming black freshmen), and this was increased to 28.4% in fall of 2025 (2,332 total incoming black freshman).

Whites at 66.7% or 4,079 total of the fall incoming 2019 freshman class and then at 48.6% or 3,995 total of the fall incoming 2025 freshman class.

To make it worse the white incoming freshman totals actually increased in fall of 2020 before Tate and in fall of 2021 (Tate arrived in the Spring of 2021) while %s dropped a little, but in the first 100% Tate class for fall of 2022 incoming freshman whites started dropping in total numbers and also dropped over 5 percentage points that first class alone (62.5% to 57.2%) which actually saw a decrease in ACT scores even when voluntary (only increased in 2023 by comparing super scores to true composite scores along with voluntary submissions dropping). The white freshman totals decreased from fall of 2021 to the fall of 2025 was larger than from the fall of 2019 - from 4,401 in fall of 2021 to 3,995 in fall of 2025.

This was all while applications, acceptances, and enrollees were being pushed to increase quickly and annually under Tate the guy who wrote about math being racist before taking the LSU job.

This was also happening as SAT/ACT scores submitted for admissions, honors, and scholarship consideration kept dropping to having only 47% of the fall 2024 freshman class enrollees submit scores for consideration for admissions, honors, and scholarships (last fall still not posted). To increase average Tate pushed submissions rate down to at least 47% while pushing out a score that at or above was most likely to help considerations and if below don’t submit, and pushing Super Score as composite score to compare to real composite scores from prior years. Fake proclaimed increases in quality of students enrolled with unchecked equality of GPAs based on the academic rigor and standards between the various schools while black % & #s go up and white % & #s goes down for freshman enrollment and for total undergraduate enrollment.

Tate was making blacks offers they could not refuse including many from out of state at the expense of white instate HS graduates including many from from private schools and legacies and forcing them to rely on TOPs or go elsewhere which many of them started to do.

I hate the non-hispanic white BS.
