"The U.S. Air Force Academy likewise sought racial "diversity" through double standards. A 1982 memorandum on Air Force Academy stationery, with the notation "for your eyes only," listed different cut-off scores to use when identifying possible candidates for the Academy from different racial ethnic groups. Composite SAT scores as low as 520 were acceptable for blacks, though Hispanics and American Indians had to do somewhat better, and Asian Americans had to meet the general standards. For athletes "lower cut-offs" were permissible.52 Given that composite SAT scores begin at 400 (out of a possible 1600) a requirement of 520 is really a requirement to earn only 120 points out of a possible 1200 points earned."
