[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It says that it will report stats of admits and rejects, along with demographic information, to the federal government.  [/quote]

The people behind all this are trying to get to 30-40% Jewish students. This is the goal according to Bill Ackman particularly at UPenn and Columbia. In the 60’s both were close to 40% with a large ultra orthodox presence. Columbia is now around 22%.

So it was a big drop and naturally DEI and affirmative action are to blame. Columbia can easily reach 30-35% by just quietlyincreasing legacy preferences to grandparents. As long as there is progress in this the pressure on Columbia by these activists will disappear. [/quote]
Ok so I just visited most places with Ivy schools and it most definitely was not driving nor affirmative action I saw,,,,,however it wasnt white either [/quote]

yep, Columbia is very, very Asian.  Between domestic and International students the incoming class feels about 75%.  [/quote]
There are going to be more asians everywhere. Millions of engineers/doctors immigrated to the US since the 90s. All the IT/biotech/medicine advancements in the US wouldn’t have been possible without Asian professionals. Their children were born here. They value education more culturally. This ain’t bad. Younger generations are not bothered by it because they’re always had diverse friends. The older generations take a little longer to adjust to the reality. [/quote]
