[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are they able to attract such strong students and still increase their diversity numbers YoY?[/quote]

Because they are still giving racial preferences. Will likely be added to any future lawsuit in addition to Yale and other schools whose diversity numbers didn’t drop. [/quote]

Northwestern and other elite schools removed race checkbox from the official application and can't see the demographics of the class as decisions are being made. I'm not sure what lawsuit would prevail here.

You don't win civil rights lawsuits by simply pointing at numbers and "there are too many blacks getting in!" is not a real legal argument.

In response to SFFA, elite universities made the admissions more holistic and difficult to decipher.[b] I also think a lot of people underestimated the efficacy of race-neutral alternatives. [/b][/quote]

Yes, and smart / qualified URMs that highly selective colleges want didn't drop off the face of the earth.[/quote]

There just weren't as many as we were led to believe.[/quote]
