The people behind all this are trying to get to 30-40% Jewish students. This is the goal according to Bill Ackman particularly at UPenn and Columbia. In the 60’s both were close to 40% with a large ultra orthodox presence. Columbia is now around 22%.

So it was a big drop and naturally DEI and affirmative action are to blame. Columbia can easily reach 30-35% by just quietlyincreasing legacy preferences to grandparents. As long as there is progress in this the pressure on Columbia by these activists will disappear. [/quote]

Jews make up 2.5% of the US population. A goal of 30-40% would be a massive overrepresentation - even 20% would be. In the 1960s not as many women went to college. Women now overwhelmingly make up the majorities at all colleges. Also Jews do not comprise much of the international community.

DEI has never been to blame. Legacy is a far worse kind of discrimination.
