Fascinating to find an opposing ruling from the recent Harvard law suit. Are the admission preferences so drastically different, or was it simply a different evaluating body?


?? What ruling? The Harvard lawsuit was a court case that, after a trial, resulted in a ruling against the plaintiff.

This complaint you're citing is just an allegation by the Justice Department that, if it goes to trial, will also result in a loss. Yale just needs to mount the same defense Harvard did.

I'm still fascinated that some Asians find comfort in having white supremacists on their side on college admissions. Luckily most of us understand that those who don't want African-Americans in elite colleges would be happy to bring back the Chinese Exclusion Act.

Well we certainly knew they were letting in plenty of unqualified people once nyt's Charles Blow started bragging about his son being a student there.


Why would you assume his child is not qualified?

At a school that is named for a slave-trader, no less.

Trump era DOJ. They seem very concerned about race as a factor in admissions. I wonder if they’re equally concerned about the legacy admissions?
Lol: Perhaps Jared, Ivanka, and Donald himself can speak to this issue?

Guess my biracial (white & Asian) child had better look to schools other than Ivys.

You are absolutely a racist. Please tell us your race.

The DOJ had the same findings in the Harvard case, but a judge overturned the DOJ. This case is still ongoing with appeals coming. It’s possible a judge could overrule the DOJ with Yale, too.

Most of us knew, but everyone to the left refused to admit it.

Reminds me of the the people claiming that diversity programs don't discriminate against white people.


Of course they discriminate against white people. That’s the whole point of these programs. This is how schools believe they can achieve equity. As long as discrimination will help achieve that goal, people argue that it is okay to discriminate against White people.

Both if you have it wrong. The Harvard suit was started in 2014 by Students for Fair Admissions vs. Harvard. This was during the OBAMA years. DOJ was not a litigant but submitted as did 100s of other special-interest Groups a Friend-of-the-Court brief which the Judge can ignore. Judges rarely read them unless a clerk brings it to their attention as having an argument not covered by the actual litigants. The outcome was obvious because the district court judge was an Obama appointee who affirmed Harvard’s “holistic” admissions which means they can ignore GPA and test scores in favor of race issues. The SFAA filed an appeal in the first circuit which has not yet been heard. Considering the liberal was of the First Circuit most are assuming the decision will be affirmed. Then SFAA will appeal to SCOTUS. There, whatever administration that is in office may request that the Solicitor General appear to give the DOJ opinion. SCOTUS can say no. Or sometimes SCOTUS will ask the SG to appear to give the federal government’s viewpoint.
