If you want to improve "diversity" you should find a way for the underrepresented to meet the standards instead of creating a separate standard for admission. Isn't that what preparatory schools are for?

I think an active recruiting effort to find minorities that are competitive is needed. Outreach targeting former minority military retirees could help for example, if they are not already doing it. The wording of such overtures needs to be careful. Maybe say something like, "we are contacting military retirees to advocate for consideration of the xxx academy as an option for their young people if they can meet the standards. Our goal is to maintain a force that reflects America while keeping standards as high as possible."
