“According to many observers, a crucial factor in the original (University of California vs. Bakke) 1978 ruling may have been the amicus brief filed by Harvard University. America’s oldest and most prestigious academic institution emphasized that its “holistic” admissions process allowed for the creation of a racially diversified student body while avoiding any “quota system.” In fact, Justice Lewis Powell’s majority opinion cited Harvard’s approach as exemplary, suggesting it demonstrated that well-intentioned and determined university administrators could achieve ethnic diversity without using quotas.”
Well, maybe not so exemplary. Using a percentage for “Asian-American” enrollment, Harvard has managed a 50 percent reduction in Asian-American enrollment, based on population growth.

Come on, folks. We’re talking about Northeast liberals here. None of us who read Dinesh D’Souza’s Illiberal Education 22 years ago is anywhere near surprised that Ivy League colleges continue long-held practices of discrimination. If they could, the Ivies would allow in only those who aspire to speak to the Cabots and the Lodges. Those be white folks only, for anyone unsure.
