#2Is there an easy way to get updates about this case in my inbox? I'm really hoping Harvard gates raked over the coals for its behavior. Not only for the racism. But the self-righteousness with which it pursued its agenda.

#4By enforcing racial quotas, Harvard and other institutions are actively cementing race as an important factor in our society, as if it's something we should care about. As such, they are not helping society to become post-racial - as must be our goal - but instead are forcing a racialized view of the world down our collective throats.
While well intentioned, racial quotas are a regressive policy and history will look back on them with scorn.

#6On the contrary, I wonder how people would view the school if it had no racial based entrances and people were entered solely based on their academic merit. Would people look negatively on the school if it were 90%+ asian-american students?

Harvard's admissions policy promotes a particular vision for its students' racial composition.

#8They may as well be instituting explicit quotas at this point, if these allegations are true. At least then it would be clear, and possibly even less controversial. We have x slots for race A, y slots for B, etc.
Racism is alive and well. Only our notions of which types are acceptable have changed. Do the ends justify the means?

Sadly I dont even follow the article, its jumble mumble.
>Harvard admissions evaluators -- staffers who are likely under pressure to deliver a target mix of ethnicities each year -- rate Asian-American applicants far lower on subjective personality traits than do alumni interviewers who actually meet the applicants.
How da fuck do you get to this conclusion with:
>The following point does not require any sophisticated modeling (with inherent assumptions) or statistical expertise to understand.
If you can figure out the "intent" with just modeling then you're a genius or in the real world you're just making shit up. At the best you could see some trends, but what I can see that is the statistics is not an exact science and if you fudge the numbers well enough you can prove any point.

To unfairly advantage people who are simply incapable of earning admission by their own merits so they use their race as a magic card.
