[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard's discrimination against white and Asian students has been so pervasive over the past 20 years that I'm not sure they can pull back from their institutional racism so easily.

Harvard's pronouncements which vehemently denounced the ruling were a pretty big tell that they would not obey the ruling/constitution.  At the very least they would do all that they could to continue to favor black applicants.

You didn't read the ruling carefully, it clearly said, no race in consideration, but college can take into account for diversity background of students.[/quote]

This X1000. UC admissions offices are the experts on how to not consider race while still achieving the racial diversity goals of the campus. Using proxy measures to grade diversity of backgrounds promoting and demoting based on parental education, parental language, parental income, etc is a big part of it. One AO pointed out that the traditional ECs of elected positions, captains, presidents, founding something new, award winning are not more impressive than a student who has to translate everything for their parents who don’t speak English as that shows responsibility.

That's why, in last two years after ruling, admission data from top colleges are virtually same overall, you can see Asian students population increased in top stem colleges, same at Harvard, Princeton, but less at Yale and Brown. [/quote]
