The show also followed several decades of demonization of the changes that happened in the 60s. I sometimes think of Mad Men as making the point that the 60s happened for (good) reasons.
> in regard to admissions to educational institutions, this section shall apply only to institutions of vocational education, professional education, and graduate higher education, and to public institutions of undergraduate higher education
Another possibility: men have higher variation in performance than women. Even if the male mean were lower, a greater standard deviation would swamp that effect at the high end.
Their researchers apply for grants. That is considered "funding". Enrolling students who have taken out student loans is also considered to be "goverment funding" for the school rather than the student.
In CA at least, there is a large gap:
Despite those changes and others, the proportion of freshmen from underrepresented racial groups, including Blacks, Latinos and women, attending the UC campuses, averaged 20% before Prop 209, then dropped to 15% in 1998, then slowly increased over the next 20 years, reaching a peak of 37% in 2016, according to the system. However, the percentage of underrepresented students graduating from high school had doubled to over 56% by 2016.

The analysis checks out (excepting the "women" part, which I assume is some kind of typo), but the "underrepresented racial groups" framing hides important parts of the story. Both black and white students are accepted in proportion to public school demographics; Hispanic students are the single largest ethnic group despite being underrepresented.

So unless you take the perspective that colleges ought to engage in direct racial balancing against local graduating classes, it's very hard to tell a story about diversity or implicit bias here.
Glad to see the proposed minimum charging capability of 150kW or higher. Too many "fast DC" chargers are only 50kW, well below the maximum that most current EVs can take. And there are some innovative charging platforms out there that incorporate batteries to get the charge rate up even when the local electric infrastructure is weak.
The stat compares the crash rate per miles driven of drivers who have a Tesla and another car, finding a lower crash rate when the same person is driving the Tesla versus their other car (on average).
For one, the longtime top editor and editorial visionary Chris Anderson left in 2012 and there has been a bit of a revolving door for top leadership since then. There was also a visual design overhaul which in my opinion lost a lot of the energy and vitality of the old Wired look https://www.adweek.com/performance-marketing/wireds-new-edit...
What the headline says: Electric vehicles may not be the climate answer after all.
What the story actually says: Hydrogen, for example, could outperform batteries for efficiency when it comes to heavy goods vehicles and long-haul buses. Synthetic fuels may well continue to provide the drama, noise and excitement that make sports cars so special.
