It’s awaiting rejection from Judge Hilton before it travels up to the 4th Circuit, where it will almost certainly be granted in the interest of the 2500 out of the initial nearly 3000 who are still eligible to be selected. It goes without saying that those families [b]deserve [/b]to be able to make plans through a regular release of decisions in early spring.[/quote]

No one deserves anything. Admissions is not an entitlement. The current batch of students were admitted under a racist policy. The admissions must be redone. [/quote]

And the last batch of students was admitted under even worse racist policies. [/quote]

File a lawsuit and get that old "racist" policy changed.

Good luck proving in court that [b]testing for problem-solving skills is racist.[/b] [/quote]

There's a lot more evidence for "disparate impact" there than there is in a holistic process that resulted in a spread of offers that largely mirrored the applicant pool. It only survived for so long because it was the status quo.[/quote]

Your per capita income is highly disparate/obscenely high compared to someone in Africa/Asia. We need to take your income and give it to someone else. Do you think you work more than them or are smarter?

The level to which folks on this board are HORRID at producing sound analogies makes me wonder how they expect their children to get into TJ in the first place.

But we do have a progressive taxation system in America, and while I do have a significantly higher income than many people who live in America, some of my money goes to help support those people who don't make as much. I benefit disproportionately from the society I live in.

I don't know if I work harder than those people or are smarter than them. For the most part, I haven't met them. But I don't mind a small amount of my money going to help those people, or to build roads and bridges, or to pay for public schools to exist and thrive (I don't have kids).[/quote]
