Presumably, they give a lot of need scholarships to minorities. I read that Oberlin is 15% black, which is much higher than most elite schools, even though underrepresented minorities are given preference.
I wonder if white students had shoplifted and beat up the store owner trying to stop them whether they would have been in trouble with the school. That kind of behavior has to be pretty unusual for students at most elite colleges.
Not True. Over half of Harvard's Freshman class is minority with 14.6% black.
