NYTimes: Columbia and Brown to Disclose Admissions and Race Data in Trump Deal It took an existential threat from Trump to get them to release this data. Years ago a faculty committee of the University of California system examined just this kind of data and produced the graphs below. If you look at the data you will understand the monstrous nature of affirmative action as practiced in the US for ~50 years. NYT: ... Columbia and Brown will have to maintain “merit-based admissions policies,” according to their settlements, which codify the administration’s broader aims in legally binding language. The universities “may not by any means unlawfully preference applicants based on race, color or national origin in admissions throughout its programs,” both agreements state in identical language. “No proxy for racial admission will be tolerated.” ... “The Department of Justice will put an end to a shameful system in which someone’s race matters more than their ability,” Chad Mizelle, the acting associate attorney general, said in March. “Every college and university should know that illegal discrimination in admissions will be investigated and eliminated.” The language used in the settlements with Columbia and Brown hammers home contested assertions about the Supreme Court admissions case that the Trump administration has been making since February. It insists that the decision goes beyond admissions and bars any consideration of race in university life.
