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.

and completely legal. [/quote]

[b]So keeping Jews out was completely legal?  The above article also suggests the Harvard president who came out with this idea back in 1930s also had some other "solutions" to the Jewish issues as well.[/b] [/quote]

That's all you got? :roll: [/quote]
