[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, again, where does the 22% come from?[/quote]

Again, as was stated above, it's the percentage of Asians admitted to Harvard the last two years.[/quote]

Which, again, prompts my question of what rationale (reason, principle) makes this number the dividing line between fair and unfair admissions?[/quote]

define fair[/quote]

If non-Asian students with equal credentials are admitted, refusing admission to Asian students with [b]identical credentials [/b]is giving less consideration of interest to Asians. Fairness requires giving equal consideration of interest to all students. [/quote]

No such thing.  Do you understand what [b]holistic admissions[/b] means?  Some are legacies, some have sports, some have parents who are big donors, some are URMs.  Asians are not URMs.  [/quote]

"Holistic admission" historically had been used to discriminate against Jewish students and to keep them out of Ivy League. It's a code word for a racist policy.
