Please share a post SCOTUS ruling source for that statistic.

I happen to disfavor affirmative action too, but am often surprised how many rail against that while fine with athletic recruiting. They have the highest admit rates of all, and these are supposed to be [i]academic[/i] institutions. Some people are just born more athletic; an average person  can’t get recruited with just hard work the way they can get good grades or test scores with just hard work. [/quote]

Here’s the chart that was shown to the Supreme Court. It shows across nearly all academic deciles, blacks had a 5-10 fold higher admission rate than Asian Americans.   The advantage was especially higher in the median deciles.

I agree that the athlete hook is a scam too, often advantaging traditional white people non competitive sports.  [/quote]

PP asked for a POST ruling dataset. It is so recent I doubt there is one. If there is it almost certainly shows this was addressed in last year's admissions. [/quote]
