As a side effect some individuals benefit greatly and others experience disadvantage but overall everyone benefits. [/quote]

That's a fine opinion, and I share it.  But the important point is that it is subjective, and colleges should be allowed to decide if they feel this is necessary achieve their mission, as long as they do not break the law.[/quote]
sure, subjective measures are not inherently wrong, however, how can you judge someone's likeability without ever having met them?  [/quote]

Why did you move the goalposts from diversity to likability?  Why don't you read the posts you are responding to and do a better job at not mis-representing them?[/quote]
IMO, what came out of the Harvard trial about likability indicates bias and discrimination. It's part of the goal post.

Likeability is how they are able to create the diversity that they want. It's exactly what they did to the Jews.  It wasn't ok then, and it's not ok today.[/quote]

Except that that was a different time and it was being done deliberately, while there is no deliberate effort to keep Asians out. If there were, these days some if not all of the dozens of people on the admission committee would have gone public with the blatant racism.

It's not that they are lying but they think it's okay. That the ends justify the means, and also that it's permissible under the law as it stood before this case.[/quote]
