Asians complain about model minority and them totally believe in it when convenient.

Those darn Asians, believing in transparent policies with fair standards for all

If you think they’re fighting for anyone besides their personal child, I have got a lovely bridge you should buy.

If you think anyone is fighting for anyone besides their personal child or their personal vanity, I have a lovely bridge you should buy.

Racial discrimination is an impermissible goal.
And that is what they think is still happening despite the supreme court telling them to knock it off.

And frankly rank order admission to college based on academic stats is pretty common in the rest of the world.

America is not the rest of the world. Go to college in those countries if that’s your priority.

I disagree. There are plenty of folks who support URM admissions into universities, who aren’t URMs.

I am curious...is there an American Expat/immigrant community over in England/Europe/India that cries like babies about the admissions process in those countries?

Maybe there is...but I doubt it. I imagine those expats/immigrants accept how the system works and figure out how to make the best of it.

Universities accept the students they want. They want a diverse class (diverse in all ways). Not everyone will get into an Ivy League. Move on. I have never understood the sense of entitlement the families involved in the lawsuit have. It’s absurd.

Yeah.....right.

Based on all the statistical models and the self confessed amicus briefs by many of these colleges, we expected to see a 50% drop in URM and a significant increase in asian admissions.
Yale specifically signed onto a brief saying that the end of racial preferences would be devastating to their URM population and there was no possible way to maintain their diversity without race conscious admissions.
So were they lying then or are they lying now?

There are enough academically brilliant URMs to get accepted to Yale an other elite colleges.

“It's not ridiculous at all. SFFA brought the action which was successful. Scotus said stop discriminating based upon race. Colleges and universities sent out letters asserting to alumni that, nevertheless, they remained committed to diversity (but only one kind) and started playing games in the essays. Not smart to thimb your nose at SCOTUS. The numbers of asian students went down! that wasn't supposed to happen. I hope they brong a second suit for clarification. The schools are defying the ruling and putting themselves in charge of race based admissions in America.”

Yes. It is quite ridiculous. SCOTUS is the most corrupt court ever and has no credibility and no ethics. They didn’t ban it for the military. Why is that? They didn’t address legacy admissions-otherwise known as white affirmative action. Why is that? Again, it’s all a lie. Nobody is entitled to go to these schools. Get over yourselves.

I don't for the life of me understand why there is so much complaining about US colleges, when people freely admit there are colleges all over the place where they will be admitted based on straightforward stats.

Have your kid go to one of those colleges. What's the problem?

The stats don’t include all the students who decided not to answer the race question, right?

How can SSFA be mad when we know that the statistic is not accurate?

[Anonymous]

In the age of holistic admissions, these lawsuits, should they be filed, are going nowhere. Getting rid of the race check boxes on the applications made it impossible to prove.

They know this. They’re playing dumb.

Some states do that with public schools, although you probably wouldn't like that because it's usually the top percentage of graduates from a given high school are automatically admitted which means poor kids from bad schools benefit. The schools SFFA is still complaining about are private.
