Anyone can threaten a lawsuit, that doesn't mean the suit is meritorious.

Escalating and meritorious are two different things.

That is true. You are correct that the Justice Department is escalating its threats. Nothing else has changed about whether their case has any merit, so really this isn't news beyond showing how the Justice Department is flailing.

I think it shows how Harvard is stonewalling. If they have nothing to hide then why not produce the requested documents.

Exactly. I'm sure the data is damning.

Data "are". Data is plural which you would know if you went to Harvard. You obviously didn't read anything that was posted. This is three-year-old litigation involving claims by the Asian American community that they are being discriminated against when they have superior scores but are not allowed into the Ivies in representative numbers. the claim is identical to the anti-Jew sentiment and limits on the number of Jewish students admitted in the 50s and early 60s. Harvard is not producing the documents because it is "stonewalling". It has claimed the information is protected by FERPA. This is standard litigation posturing. The OP went off the rails not understanding what this litigation is about. Just google Seth Waxman Harvard litigation. The case has nothing to do with Harvard allegedly discriminating against minorities, URMs, Hispanics, Jews or the poor. It's about Asian Americans with the best test scores and GPAs not getting into the Ivies.

If I was a collection manager at fsb or Chinese intelligence, I would put resources into such an operation - I wonder if they know how much of a societal “pain point” this could be.

Only a tiny % of the nation cares; it's mostly grubby desperate strivers are obsessed with college admissions. Rich pull some strings and handle it, or just send their kid to Trinity or Hobart and William Smith or Tulane and they're fine. Poor and middle class are too dull to care about anything more than the in-state flagships.

I see you didn't answer PP's question. Multi-generation Americans are supposed to sit back and let the test-obsessed Asians take over all our leading educational institutions while their own home countries are controlled by racists who'd never allow non-Asians similar access to their universities.

2017- 25.2% Asian
2018- 24.3% Asian
2019- 23.5% Asian
2020- 26.6% Asian
2021- 23.8% Asian

If you look at just domestic students alone, Asians represent 24% of Harvard's student group (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/08/24/us/affirmative-action.html) and average about 22% at all 8 Ivies. The domestic Asian percent is 5.6%. That means Asians are highly over-represented at the Ivies- by a factor of 4 times. Am I missing something?

So they're a 1/4 (or more) of basically all of the US's top colleges which they had no hand in building, and they still complain? Let me know when Korea, China, Japan let foreigners take over 25% of their few best colleges. It would never, ever happen. American guilt, or whatever, is asinine. There are literally millions of qualified multi-gen American teens that could and should fill these seats.

Did YOU have a hand in building the Ivy League? Unless you personally helped establish these institutions, you need to STFU. Universities don't belong to any particular group. They are open institutions that exist for everyone to attend, if they qualify and are selected.

The true diversity is not skin. It is ideas. Current society's sickening rules kill off anyone who does not fall in line.

Important to note about half the Caucasians are Jewish.

More than half

Maybe that's true, I have no idea. For this to be a conspiracy, you're saying Jewish people have taken over not just presidents of universities, but also admissions departments (I believe Harvard's admissions Dean is a Catholic guy, fyi), and they somehow know which kids are Jewish? Half the Jewish people I know don't have a Jewish surname. How do the Ivies know these kids are Jewish? Who exactly directs them to admit more Jewish kids? Why haven't any former admissions reps whistle blown, either to the press or to the Justice Dept.?
