7 New York City Schools Will Reserve Slots for Disadvantaged Students
In an effort to curb segregation, the Education Department said it would allow seven elementary schools to reserve some slots for children from low-income or non-English speaking families.I wonder how they plan to bias the lottery.
A method that occurs to me is picking students from the applicant pool.
Each student has biasing information attached to their identifier.
Quotas are filled after students are randomly selected.
If a quota is filled the potential student is rejected.
Selection continues until all quotas are filled.
A large group has more than one biasing quality.
They can be placed in an available quota.
All applicants are the children of motivated parents.

Under the terms of the settlement, Bon-Ton did not admit any wrongdoing, but agreed to change its policy so that employees in a similar situation are not required to procure a protective order to stay on the job."
