[quote=Anonymous]Princeton was male only until 1969. When they added women they expanded the size of the class to ensure that the female admits would not reduce the number of white guys, and especially legacy white guys. When they increased minority enrollment, they expanded the class size again. The larger classes beginning since 1969 yielded even more legacy applicants in the next generation, so Princeton had to expand the class size again to protect the legacy share of admissions. The bottom line is that the minority admits have not come at the expense of white students but have been added on. I would guess that other universities also expanded their enrollment to add minorities without reducing the numbers of white students. [/quote]
