I am not surprised at the least. Good for them.
That was fast.
Wasn’t the lockdown designed to hurt black and Hispanic students the most?
Black’s seem to need more “special” help.
Why is that?
I did not get it nor did anybody I went to university with.
Bottom line is “you snooze you lose”.
Don’t want to get off your butt and study, then you dig, go to jail, or generally are despised by people that work hard.
Sorry but that is life and it is not fair for anybody except Obama.
The article doesn’t say the 2.1% increase is related to the Supreme Court ruling.
It says the percentage of Asian Americans admitted has been increasing year after year.
It says the reasons are (1) the increase in the Asian American population and (2) an increase in Asian Americans admitting as children of alumni.
More black doctors, lawyers, engineers, nurses etc graduate from black colleges.
I can’t understand why someone, anyone, would apply to Harvard or any expensive hard-to-get-in-school, if they’re not qualified to get in?
So the the three SCOTUS justices believe that we should have a quota for minorities at all schools, including Harvard?
IOWs you apply and you are accepted because of your race.
YOur grades and test scores are lower than the other students.
The tests you take will be graded separately, so that your score will not be compared to the rest of the class.
You get your diploma, but you did not achieve the same test scores as the other students.
THe best qualified people should get into the best schools.
Why do you have to go to a Harvard type school if you’re not qualified?
I'll suggest a couple: Genetics, strong families.
The anti American bias of this “new story” is appalling.
Anyone who believes in the Constitution and equal protection is “right wing.”
This article is from April of 2023, a couple of months before the recent SCOTUS ruling.
I don’t know why Asians would want to waste their money getting a useless Harvard degree. I would never hire a Harvard graduate. They don’t teach critical thinking anymore. They are producing leftist drones.
Give me a night School graduate who flipped hamburgers in high school and paid for their higher education by working an 8-5 job while getting their degree.
All sides of the spectrum argue endlessly about how to get their preferred racial and political group through the gates of America’s elite institutions like Harvard, Wall Street, Fortune 500 co’s etc...
NO ONE asks - why do these few institutions of the oligarchy have such power over us in the first place? Perhaps we should “open up” America so people can succeed outside of these few halls of centralized power and wealth.
Developing organizational tools and fostering good study habits for effecient study during K-12 really does work.
