It gives blacks a larger pool of 'leadership class' and accelerates more of them into the top 5% while also giving incentives to umc whites to vote to raise taxes to fund public secondary and tertiary education more since now they are more likeyl to go there.


Not the way affirmative action is being done today where professional black families are getting the benefit. I say economic affirmative action is what is needed -poverty knows no race - help every kid that needs it

So under PP’s proposal, MIT would have no white or Asian students? Ha ha ha! That’s hilarious!

I think you underestimate how dumb some rich kids even of professionals are.

Wilkie Farr's co-chair was getting 22's on practice ACTs. So even with fake scores and bribes, the wake tier is the best that type will do.

He mentions she has a disability in the complaint.


no - they're using a fake diagnosis to get extended time from act.

In one recorded conversation the Wilkie Farr guy said that as a lawyer, he's very rule-based and insisted that he daughter would actually sit for the test. The fixer responded no problem and that he would 'clean it up on the back end.'

Yes -- it's like she had a whole new face put on. Very weird. BTW, is this the plot of "Us"?

Harvard, Yale, Stanford, University of Southern California, UCLA, and Georgetown



No Harvard fool


Harvard is certainly part of the list.

Apparently they keep super-qualified Asian Americans out so they have a few spots for the dumb kids of Hollywood celebs.


Harvard is not listed in this indictment. You can accuse them all you like, but, as of now, they have not been named in this scandal


Because these are coaches who took bribes for themselves. Harvard and all the elite schools do participate in these types of activities but in the form of buildings, lectures series, donations to the athletic programs, etc - we see this a lot at our private school: the college counselor facilitates the conversation. Do you really think a top field hockey recruit could come from the NE? The private school we know no longer publishes kids academic distinctions - too many questions of why kids without any academic merit are “recruited” to ivies


yes - do you consider central pa in the north east?

the hershey and lancaster area has a ridiculous number of beast girls that are elite of the elite at FH.
