Hopefully now for a few years, not only Harvard but all colleges and universities will use proper merit for admissions. My son having to score an average 200-400 SAT points higher than others was and will always be unfair

Hey girl you fight for your kids!! I wonder what Trump & many white families are going to say when their numbers drop due to this Affirmative action repeal. It’s about giving opportunities & educational lift. Do you live in a middle class community? If so you wont understand.
-
I am just want the admissions to be fair. I know kids with perfect GPA and near perfect SAT not getting admissions. That seems unfair to anyone that it happens to
-
Not all students are accepted! And grades arent all that make a student. Besides grades what else do you friends, son have to offer? Book smart and street dumb. No damn common sense or original thought!
-
Parents don’t realize that there is more than grades & SAT scores. Some of these kids are extremely underprivileged & still manage to excel & be extraordinary. The idea is to educate these kids to uplift their communities. All for the common good.
-
Everyone already knows that you need more than grades or scores. But applicants with straight A grades, 5s on 10 AP tests, 99.8th-percentile test scores, AND varsity sports letters + music & theater + volunteering + leadership & more are being rejected because Harvard has quotas
-
Exactly my point. My friends daughter was captain of the debate team, perfect GPA and perfect SAT and had music achievements and yet did get admission in her choice college
-
Meant did not get admission

pretty lazy headline
@cnnbrk -- they aren't siding with Asian-Americans; they are siding with folks who want to end affirmative action in higher education. -
Lol they are literally siding with the Asian-Americans suing Harvard genius

Our admissions policies encourage diversity, respect the law, and do not discriminate against anyone. This lawsuit brought by Edward Blum and SFFA could eliminate the freedom of every college to provide the best education possible.https://admissionscase.harvard.edu/key-points

You've literally been exposed as descriminatory on race. Mathematically.

If you inserted any other minority group instead of Asians, there would be a media uproar and a leftist riot. Strangely enough, the story has not received all that much attention considering the magnitude of the subject and it’s effects on a minority in America.

This is true of all Ivy League schools. Experienced this bias first hand with my son
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

But there’s an unresolved inconsistency. Affirmative action is considered legal and widely practiced in gov hiring. The Harvard thing is just what happens when people start empirically observing the inevitable arithmetic implications of affirmative action.
-
When the number of open spots in a job or a school are finite and fixed, affirmatively helping one group necessarily affirmatively harms some other group. It’s straightforward arithmetic. Polite society has been living in incredible denial for decades.
