  • Model predicting undergraduate course grades and average GPA
  • International students are falsely predicted to earn a lower final course grade as well as lower GPA than their peers
  • The algorithmic bias against international students is larger when only institutional data, or a combination of institutional and survey data is included, but this performance is fairer with the inclusion of both clickstream and survey data
