They were around 15%, until they temporarily boosted it to 30% to try and win the affirmative action lawsuit.

What does this have to do with MAGA taking over higher education?

Seems relevant when the competition is China.

Harvard hired a professor who goes by the name 'LaWhore Vagistan' and this professor will be giving a talk on Mamdani and Kamala Harris.

So much winning. America is in terminal decline. I guess it is time for our best and brightest to start considering studying abroad in China. They are taking over all rankings for best universities and research in the world.

But thank god ICE is asking for citizens' papers, we are starting multiple new wars, and the country has a whakcy brain worm leader pushing junk like sunshine and chelation therapy to treat autism.

USA, land of the dumbasses.

I think Harvard should just call it quit and close their doors while they are ahead. They will fall out of top 10 within 10 years.

You know nothing about Harvard do you? And Some Americans study in China, some Chinese study in US. China has at least three times as many people as the US. Universities are international.

I am going to assume you live in MS on a farm. This is the dumbest comment I've heard today. Get over the DEI/Affirmative Action thing. It sounds stupid now. Stop blaming others for your lack of success.

Harvard was the named defendant in the landmark 2023 Supreme Court decision which brought down the entire, nationwide practice of awarding college admissions on the basis of the color of Individual student’s skin:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Students_for_Fair_Admissions_v._Harvard

That suit was initiated in 2014.

Clearly Harvard or any other school was not basing admission on race. If that were the case, there would have been more than 6% of its class being black. You are just being stupid. I am grateful that I got an opportunity to meet people that didn't look like me in college. It has made my life much richer.

Can't blame MAGA for that

Umm. All the harassment and visa issues for foreign students? And you don’t think it has a direct effect on research productivity? Get this through your head: American technological superiority was built on elite research universities who attracted the best and brightest in the world, and turned them into citizens. They also trained domestic students up. This entire model is under attack from MAGA and Trump and you say “maga isn’t to blame”??

If the "best and brightest" in the world, then why not the same criteria for American students?

It will take at least 4 years to eviscerate the damage that was done over 20 years.

No, I think it will take 8 years.

This is actually natural. China has taken a lot of the business. And naturally the bulk of research and development will follow.

Yes MAGA forced China to skyrocket investment in universities over decades before MAGA even existed, and there's no reason why a country with 1.6 Billion people would have good universities without MAGA.
