This was NEVER a serious attempt to reform or negotiate with Harvard. Never.

And it was never about racism against Asians.

It’s not all about it. But one of the requests is meritocracy based admission-total compliance with SFFA.

Have you looked at the numbers? 70% of foreign students at Harvard are “Asian”. If the school went strictly on merit foreign Asian students would be about 75-85% of each class.

Jewish students would take a huge hit. Harvard and other Ivy League school heavily favor Jewish students in admissions, faculty and senior administrators(ie president). Jewish students are about 20% of the class at Harvard but are only 2% of the population. How many non Jewish presidents are there in the Ivy League?

Why should Jewish students receive special treatment at these schools while every other categories of student do not? 20% is extremely high percentage of the class. Everyone is quick to point to other minorities and claim they are taking spots but biggest set aside is ignored.

Maybe because Jews are a force to be reckon with academically vs Asians. Maybe because 20% + of all Nobel Prize winners were Jewish…for such a tiny population, the over representation in High Academics is brilliant….

So you believe Jews are superior to all other people? lol. It has more to do with legacy admissions, wealth and preferential treatment for a religious group vs superior genes.

How does that have anything to do with any given Jewish applicant who hasn’t won a Nobel Prize?
