Lee and Kizilcec (2020) [pdf]

Models predicting college success (or median grade or above)
Random forest algorithms performed significantly worse for male students than female students
The fairness of the model, namely demographic parity and equality of opportunity, as well as its accuracy, improved after correcting the threshold values

Yu et al. (2020) [pdf]

Students who are international, first-generation, or from low-income households were inaccurately predicted to get lower course grade and average GPA than their peers
Fairness of models improved with the inclusion of clickstream and survey data

Riazy et al. (2020) [pdf]

Models predicting course outcome of students in a virtual learning environment (VLE)
Students with self-declared disability were predicted to pass the course with 16-23 percentage points in favor from the training and test set
