Potrooper sends us this article on illegal racial preferencing at Harvard, surprising exactly no one. More than 50 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, recent studies, complaints filed with the U.S. Department of Education, and lawsuits filed against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill reveal that many academic institutions are engaging in blatant racial discrimination by gaming the system, denying admission to Asian American students who would otherwise be admitted based on their qualifications and credentials.
\nFrom the article:<\/p>\n

BY J. CHRISTIAN ADAMS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Almost half of all blacks and Hispanics who attend Harvard were admitted because of illegal racial preferences in admissions according to a brief just filed by the Department of Justice.<\/p>\n

The Department of Justice filed the brief in a federal lawsuit filed by Students For Fair Admissions. It says Harvard’s race-based admissions process violates federal law. This filing marks an extreme departure from the Obama Civil Rights Division that spent significant time and resources seeking to expand the use of race in decision making.<\/p>\n

The brief says Harvard “considers applicants\u2019 race at virtually every step, from rating applicants to winnowing the field of applicants when attempting to avoid an oversubscribed class.” It notes that forty-five percent of African-Americans and Hispanics at Harvard are there because of racial preferences given to them during the admissions process.<\/p>\n

Harvard\u2019s process imposes a racial penalty by systematically disfavoring Asian-American applicants. It does so in part through the subjective personal rating that admissions officers apply with minimal guidance or supervision. That rating produces consistently poorer scores for Asian Americans.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Justice Department brief also noted that Harvard employs a consistent racial quota to admit applicants to the class in essentially the same percentages, year after year. “The racial breakdown of Harvard\u2019s admitted classes over time reflects that they are the product of deliberate racial balancing,” the brief notes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While blatantly unfair to qualified Asian’s wishing to attend Harvard, this also does no favors to the over-represented black and Hispanic students. With their lower qualifications they are not prepared for Harvard’s curriculum and suffer from higher drop-out rates.<\/p>\n
