Harvard’s loss was Boston College’s gain

Did Asians benefit from Affirmative Action Ban?

This article says no.

Increasingly lost in all this ... is Asian-American students. The thrust of the lawsuit that overturned race in admissions was that Harvard was discriminating against Asian-American applicants. Yet since the ruling, their numbers have barely budged.

Only 10 of the 39 colleges in the New England sample saw the number of Asian-American students increase over the last two years.

“The bottom line is that this lawsuit at Harvard claimed to be about supposed anti-Asian discrimination,”
“And if that were actually the case, then you would expect to see increases in Asian-American students. There are some at super-selective institutions, but what we mainly see are big changes in other underrepresented minorities.”

I don't click on links...does the article itself support the title of your thread?

The paragraphs you quote don't mention anything about Boston College.

There was a thread on this yesterday

UMD, for one, is simply ignoring the S.Ct.,s order in SFFA and continuing its race-conscious admissions policies.

They will continue to break the law until someone or some group files a civil lawsuit against them.

UMD is not alone in ignoring Supreme Court precedent. That is the reason you are not seeing major increases in Asian student percentages.

And for its part, Harvard is eagerly seeking “work arounds” such as its reliance on Quest Bridge applicants, admitting based on FARMs and FGLI status (which are allowed as proxies for skin color).

Basically the URM students who were no longer admitted to the tippy-top colleges now go to the schools just below those ones, where their scores are in line with other admitted students.

College admissions is not a zero-sum game. Keeping URM out does not result in getting more Asians.

Why the desire to attend these institutions that clearly value diversity when you clearly do not? That seems like a bad fit.

Didn't Harvard's Asian admits go up to 41% last year?

How many years/times were we told that AA should be for class not race and now that Harvard is doing that you are whining that it’s just a proxy.

You people are the worst. Get over yourself and go help someone instead of just complaining and trying to pull others down.

Say what you really mean, PP.

“Valuing diversity” is simply code for racist bigotry against Asian applicants.

That’s what you want? More racism?

TBH, the PP you responded to is obviously a Democrat, and it was the democrats who bitterly fought against racial integration.

This should not come as a surprise to anyone. The lawyer behind the attacks on Affirmative Action, Edward Blum, is a white man who was trying to use the case to further his racist (anti-brown people) views, and he was using the Asian American plaintiffs as a pawn. His ultimate goal is to bring down Affirmative Action in the workplace so that white males can get an even more leg-up in life. If you thought he cared about Asian Americans, you were incredibly naive.

What are you talking about? There is a significant number of Asian applicants admitted to Harvard and BC. Not sure about admitted but over 40 percent of the incoming class to Harvard and over 16 percent of the incoming class to BC.
