22.2 percent of the incoming students are Asian, far above their percentage of the population. Yet there is a lawsuit currently against Harvard claiming its admissions policy discriminates against Asian students.
The Asians will be the only ones worth hiring. The rest will have studies degrees.
Because it does discriminate against Asians. If Harvard adopted race-blind admissions as is the case at Berkeley and CalTech, the number would be closer to 40 percent.
It is because they are discriminated against. Based on test scores they should be at a much higher percentage. And IMO that is what it should be based on - test scores.
Percentage of the overall population versus the incoming class has nothing to do with the students’ qualifications.
What would that percentage be if Asians were held to the same standards as white, black, and Latino applicants? I suspect that it would be quite a bit higher.
