Did Elite Colleges Lie to the Supreme Court or Are They Breaking the Law Today?

 Even After Court Ruling, Colleges Face Questions on Admissions (Hans von Spakovsky) 

"As it turns out, the schools have had no trouble attaining what they call “diverse” student bodies; that is, a student body where fewer Asian American students get in than deserve to." We have become a silly people indeed. TD


"When the U.S. Supreme Court issued its monumental decision in 2023 telling colleges and universities that “yes,” they did have to comply with the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment in their admissions policies, the question immediately arose of whether they would comply or cheat.

"With the latest admission numbers from schools such as Duke, Princeton, and Yale, however, we still don’t know the answer.

"In June of 2023, in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard and the University of North Carolina, the Supreme Court held that the academy had to end its pernicious policy of discriminating on the basis of race in deciding whether to admit students. The colleges argued they need to discriminate to achieve “diversity,” a practice based, as Chief Justice John Roberts said, on the “offensive and demeaning assumption that [students] of a particular race, because of their race, think alike.' ”  . . .

Is there no knowledge of our history of treating Asians during WW2? Maybe there once was a statue commemorating all that which was torn down by those low-information youths. I can visualize that. TD
