[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It says that it will report stats of admits and rejects, along with demographic information, to the federal government.  [/quote]

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]

Omg you are incredibly stupid

Orthodox do not educate their children past 8 th grade particularly girls.

Then who is being educated in Yeshiva University which has several joint programs with Columbia?

Look who is stupid now.[/quote]

PP.  actually, this may be the reason for Jews seeming to be over represented at Columbia - they count people in joint programs with YU and JTS.  But for most of them the Columbia part resides in the school of general studies, so it’s not like they ever competed for admission with an average Columbia undergrad.[/quote]
