  • Models predicting college success (or median grade or above)
  • Random forest algorithms performed significantly worse for underrepresented minority students (URM; American Indian, Black, Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, Hispanic, and Multicultural) than non-URM students (White and Asian), for male students than female students
  • The fairness of the model for URM and male students, namely demographic parity and equality of opportunity, as well as its accuracy, improved after correcting the threshold values
