[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Just noticed that the plaintiff in the UNC case is white -- not Asian. [/b] Re the Asian-American population increasing but the percentage of Asian American students at Harvard staying constant. Two non-quota explanations come quickly to mind. One is that Harvard was taking a critical mass approach rather than proportionate representation. The other is that Harvard's concept of diversity has become less racialized and serving other constituencies -- e.g. international students, first generation college students, lower-income students -- has become a higher priority than it was 20 years ago. Has anyone seen data on the racial demographics of Harvard College's international students?[/quote] That's because an Asian would be embarrassed to go there, let alone 'fight' to get in. [/quote] Funny![/quote]
