Harvard admits record number of Asian American students while Black and Latino admits drop

His last project was dismantling the voting rights act.

Mr. Blum is not a lawyer. But he is a one-man legal factory with a growing record of finding plaintiffs who match his causes, winning big victories and trying above all to erase racial preferences from American life.

Mr. Blum, 65, has orchestrated more than two dozen lawsuits challenging affirmative action practices and voting rights laws across the country. He is behind two of the biggest such cases to reach the Supreme Court: one attacking consideration of race in admissions at the University of Texas, which he lost; the other contesting parts of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, widely considered one of this country’s most important pieces of civil rights legislation, which he won.

Blum had previously enlisted White students to sue over race-based admissions at the University of Texas – and lost. He added a new dimension to the Harvard case, claiming that high-achieving Asian American applicants were unlawfully disadvantaged by screening policies that favored traditionally underrepresented Blacks and Hispanics.

A former stockbroker who never went to law school, Blum, now 70, has a talent for fashioning cases that appeal to the increasingly conservative high court. Using many of the same lawyers over the years, he engineered a series of lawsuits against the 1965 Voting Rights Act culminating in Shelby County v. Holder, the 2013 decision that curtailed the reach of the Voting Rights Act over designated states with a history of discrimination.

Bravo for Mr. Blum. Those Asian American students are called “plaintiffs”

Edward Blum is not Asian American, you dumbass.

I wonder how Edward Blum will feel about his little crusade when every Ivy league school is 60% Asian American though

There is always a step 2. Once the Supreme Court decides then it’s back to holistic admissions and how it can’t just be on test scores and GPA.

You have no idea what you're talking about. "Holistic admissions" is what is happening NOW, and is a codeword for allowing racial discrimination. When the supreme court rules, it will DO AWAY with "holistic admissions" and any attempt to revert to that system will result in immediate and very expensive lawsuit losses for the universities.

Elite schools don’t care about test scores, they care about leadership qualities, grit & sociability. Part-time jobs in high school are important, too.

my DC has all those qualities, PT job, leader, social, quite well spoken (debate team), and near perfect SAT scores and high GPA from a magnet, but Asian.

The true white and Asian percentages are understated as students and parents know to play the game with the one drop rule. One drop of blood of other = other for admissions purposes.

You are so WRONG. Elite colleges will always find a way to do as they please for admissions.They can look at zip codes and high schools without race to do what they nned to do.

You’re either naive or a deliberately lying if you think it’s doing away with holistic admissions. It’s doing away with one factor. They’re not going to specify that schools can only use certain criteria.

So did my Asian kid and they were admitted to multiple schools. And guess what? Their classmates are mostly white and Asian.

You don’t understand what the supreme court case is about. It’s about whether or not schools can use race under holistic admissions. The Supreme Court does not have the legal authority to tell schools that they half to consider test scores for example. holistic admissions, includes considering athletic status, gender, socioeconomic, status, legacy, etc.

Also colleges in states that don’t allow race as a consideration in college admissions still practice holistic admissions.

You are very wrong. They will still be able to do holistic admissions. There will just not be a score bump for certain races. They can still achieve institutional priorities, including diversity. It will just be done differently.

I have seen estimates that are much higher.

SAT Math Scores (2020):
"Of those scoring above 700, 43% are Asian and 45% are white, compared to 6% Hispanic or Latino and 1% Black. Meanwhile, among those scoring between 300-390, 2% are Asian and 23% white, compared to 43% Hispanic or Latino and 26% Black."

Test Optional.

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

Look at Caltech's demographics to see the future. (Caltech is race-blind)

supermen court case is not about holistic admissions - it’s about race
Schools will use holistic admissions to get around the case and take who they want
It’s not hard to tell from zip codes and such.
Case isn’t radically changing admissions. Schools will find a way to take wh they want.

But no reputable US university is transparent and admits on merit alone! Then all schools would have the same ranked accepted list. Each kid can only select one school.

Why is this all about Harvard? I don’t get it. If everyone hates Harvard, then why do you want your kid to attend? What story do you want to tell. “They were forced to accept us LOL”.

There are 3000 universities. These conversations are like a scorned woman Who only wants the guy who doesn’t want them. Pitiful and embarrassing!

Is the goal for schools to be all Asian? Let’s say we get what we asking for…. Most top kids aren’t going to attend a school that has changed what made it elite over the past 100+ years. Companies aren’t going to hire from a school if they only admit based on grades/race. And these top schools won’t have alumni athletes, presidents, CEOs, etc.

Harvards admit rate is so low because so many with a glimmer of hope throw their name in the hat…. Like playing the lottery with no real expectation to win. If they only admit 1600 SAT scores and 4.0 unweighted Gpa then only those students would even apply. Is the goal for Harvard to have a near 100% acceptance rate? Then the UNCs and UVAs won’t accept tip-top kids because they’ll assume they all got accepted/will attend T10 schools. Oh But then we’ll just sue UVA!

Alumni, legacy, admit rate….. This is the brand. why do we even want to Go to a school whose brand would be diluted?

But that’s not going to happen. Sorry! College admissions are changing, race is changing; race was created to separate us. It was created to discriminate - one day everyone will be mixed. Maybe except for my Asian friends who are the ones so stuck on race and education.
