Supreme court is going to rule on affirmative action later this year.

Should jump to 40 percent so if the Court rules like most everyone thinks it will.

Admissions is expected to look very different after the ruling.

No, The Supreme Court case is only about race. ALDC will likely continue.

Universities will find ways around the ruling to continue to do what they want, unless they get hit by anti discrimination lawsuits.

US racial demographics- tried to find current data and found this for 18-24 y/o as of 2021: https://datacenter.kidscount.org/data/tables/11207-young-adult-population-ages-18-to-24-by-race-and-ethnicity#detailed/1/any/false/2048/68,69,67,12,70,66,71,7983/21595,21596

Asians: 6%
Black: 14%
Latino: 23%
Native American: 1%
Hawaiian: .5%
White: 53%

Interesting. Technically speaking, whites are visibly underrepresented, as are Latinos, if the goal is to have Harvard's student body mirror national demographics. We could add an overlay of faith but that gets tricker so let's leave it aside for now. We all know Harvard doesn't admit on merit, so it's not really clear what they're looking for in the ideal student body as they also don't have proportional racial demographic mix either.


That’s an assumption. What about mixed race identifiers?

Often there’s a significant international percentage as well.


Read the article; 14.5%, so whites 27% or so.


And the international admits can’t possibly be white people, right? There’s a whole world of international schools where people are applying to the ivies. Obviously, there are many in highly populated countries like China and India applying, but the international group has white people in it.

When the law suit started in 2014, Asian was 18.2%, and gradually increased to 30% this year

LMFAO

You can see how much there's no standard, and the whole thing is a joke

Selective college admissions = racist admission policies. Would love to see the average test scores/gpas for admitted students by race.

I bet the actual Asian % is higher than the official numbers. At MIT many Asian friends admitted to not marking their race on the application.
