[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMO, the reason why Harvard wants to keep affirmative action is because otherwise, they'd have to get rid of ALDC to get a more diverse student body.  If they got rid of ALDC, they could use SES based affirmative action to get a diverse student body. But, they want to hoard the opportunity to mostly wealthy white families, so they pit Asian Americans against URM.

Harvard and most colleges want to keep AA because it supports its mission of diversity.

Its Ed Blum and his SFFA that wants to maintain the ALDC status quo that benefits whites AND he wants to ban more access to blacks. Hes been at it since the 1970s. Using Asians is just a means to an end.[/quote]

The world will be a better place if Harvard has more than just rich white and asian kids attending.  Going to an elite university can change a first gen/low income kids trajectory in life ---not sure why so many are opposed to that (I don't care what color their skin is---I want kids to be on a path to succeed that might not otherwise--and yes studies show these kids do get more advantages than the rich already elite kid does from elite schools)[/quote]
