https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/affirmative-action-enrollment-asian-americans-rcna170716

In the first college admissions process since the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action last year, Asian American enrollment at the most prestigious U.S. schools paints a mixed, uneven picture.

Some Ivy League schools, including Columbia and Brown universities, showed an increase in Asian Americans for the class of 2028, while others, like Yale and Princeton, showed a decrease. Harvard, the most selective of the group, didn’t see a change at all, according to enrollment numbers released on Wednesday by the school.

Experts said that it may take years to see the definitive impact of the decision, which restricted the consideration of race in college admissions. But it didn’t have the effect that many who opposed the policy had expected, they said.

“The big takeaway is that folks who supported the lawsuit were saying, this would be such a big win for Asian Americans, that race-based admissions was some type of barrier to our upward mobility,” said OiYan Poon, faculty affiliate at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign office of community college research and leadership. “What we’re seeing is that that’s not really bearing out,” Poon added.

Columbia University — which, unlike the other Ivies, groups Pacific Islanders with Asian Americans — saw an increase of nine percentage points in its enrollment of Asian American applicants, while Brown saw an increase of four percentage points. At Yale, the racial group dropped by six points. And at Princeton, it decreased by 2.2 percentage points. Asian Americans remained 37% of Harvard’s freshman class.

Meanwhile, Black student enrollment dipped at some schools including Brown and Harvard, in addition to several other high-profile schools like MIT, Amherst College and Washington University in St. Louis. Latino student enrollment also dropped at Brown, but increased at Harvard. Conservative activist Edward Blum, who led Students For Fair Admissions, the group that brought the cases against affirmative action to the Supreme Court, told NBC News he thought the results from Harvard and other institutions were “mostly indecipherable without detailed racial data about standardized test scores, recruitment policies, advanced placement tests, legacy preferences and other factors.”

Harvard declined to comment on Blum’s statement but pointed to a letter from Hopi Hoekstra, dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

“This is the first undergraduate class whose admission was impacted by the Supreme Court decision striking down the ability of colleges and universities to consider race and ethnicity as one factor among many in the admissions process,” Hoekstra said in the letter. “Because of that decision, the data on applicant race and ethnicity were unavailable to the Admissions Office until the admissions process had been completed for all students, including those on the waitlist.”

In addition, Harvard has altered its methodology from previous years, calculating the racial breakdown from the 92% of students who chose to report their race, rather than all freshman students enrolled. The school’s admissions office also released new numbers for the class of 2027, using the new methodology, as well, with 96% of students choosing to share their race, the student newspaper The Harvard Crimson reported. But the Crimson also noted some inconsistencies in the figures that the school had previously reported.
>>
“We are reporting data only for students who reported their race to us," university spokesperson Jonathan Palumbo, who did not elaborate on the inconsistencies, said in a statement. "This approach provides a clear view of the students who are studying at Harvard.”

The University of Pennsylvania, which has not historically posted racial demographics, shared on its website that 57% of the class of 2028 identifies as a student of color. Whitney Soule, vice provost and dean of admissions at the university, said in a statement that “the proportion of students from underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds has decreased 2% points compared to last year’s first-year class.”

The school defines those of underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds as students who identify as Black, Hispanic, Native American, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander origin.

The remaining Ivies — Cornell and Dartmouth — did not share the racial demographics of their freshman classes.

The new school year kicked off after the Supreme Court ruled against affirmative action programs at the University of North Carolina and Harvard, stating that the policy violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. It doesn’t mean that race is entirely ruled out of the admissions process, however. As Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion, “Nothing prohibits universities from considering an applicant’s discussion of how race affected the applicant’s life, so long as that discussion is concretely tied to a quality of character or unique ability that the particular applicant can contribute to the university.”
>>
Julie J. Park, professor of education at the University of Maryland, said that with the class of 2028 being the first to start school following the decision, much is still “in flux” at schools. Universities are adapting to their new restrictions and some major factors, like testing, can also impact admissions for years to come. Park pointed out that during the height of the pandemic, most Ivy League schools pivoted to making standardized testing optional on applications. Earlier this year, schools like Yale, Brown and Dartmouth announced that they were reversing course.

“What that’s going to mean for Asian Americans is also unpredictable,” Park said. “Some people might say that’s going to favor certain groups, but we actually don’t know.”

Park also noted that the messy rollout of a revamped Free Application for Federal Student Aid, which included problems with a new form, and delayed financial aid award letters, could’ve impacted enrollment as well. A survey conducted in March showed that 76% of students said the amount of financial aid awarded to them and the overall financial aid process impacted their college choice.

Poon, who is the author of “Asian American is Not a Color: Conversations about Race, Affirmative Action, and Family,” said that with race masked in the admissions process, concerns around biases are actually more prevalent. And it’s going to be difficult to determine, for example, why there were drops in Asian American enrollment at some schools as well.

“Race-conscious admissions really allowed, during the review, for colleges to check their process for biases. And I worry now that without race conscious admissions — because a big part of it was checking themselves — are we being biased?” Poon said. “How do you check for racial biases if you’re unconscious of race?”

So many want an African-Asian American who was Attorney General to be President of the United States because she is an American and is highly educated. No one in 4chan wants a brown schizo that will never be an American, will never be able to vote there, and will never be able to own a gun. And will never be a man.

>racist OP is so obsessed with race that he can't even conceive of somebody opposing racism for the sake of opposing racism
who cares how the racial groups changed? The point was to uphold the Equal Protection Clause and end racial discrimination.

also schools are obviously lying about their admissions criteria. As soon as SCOTUS held that racial discrimination is illegal, leftists were giving advice to colleges and applicants to find loopholes (EG telling applicants to focus on race in their essays). Colleges spent decades lying about affirmative action, you think they won't keep lying about it?

What neither the news nor the ivies wants to admit is that when you stop using race as a factor then white people increase their representation too (usually in addition to Asian Americans). They hate to admit this because the tale they want us to believe is that white people are somehow stupid

On the contrary, I don’t want to be white, instead whiteness is imposed on us by Jewish institutions looking for a way to isolate us and ostracize us

Legacy admissions in all colleges.
>>
>>1342246
“Legacy” is not “white”, so feel free to try again. Go ahead, I’ll wait
>>
>>1342250
>“Legacy” is not “white”
Remind me what the minority acceptance rate for your average college was just a few generations ago? It's called "legacy" for a reason. It favored white families who would attend the same schools generation after generation. You can't start a legacy if you don't get in in the first place and legacies help people get in which means it biases a school's population towards their historic racial makeup, ie white.

Now are there more minority legacies nowadays? Yeah, cause of affirmative action offsetting the outright racism of legacy admissions. But by no means are legacy admissions racially unbiased at this point, nor will they ever be. Dilute sewage as much as you want and it's still sewage until it's been treated.
>>
>>1342251
I wonder if you realize 99.9% of whites don’t have legacy access to anything, retard. But affirmative action only discriminates against whites without legacy admission access

>Also, let's confess it: It would be ridiculous to mistake the organized Jewish community's hesitancy to address the subject of the great cultural transformation of America for genuine equanimity. We are, after all, standing on the edge of what is arguably the most profound social transformation in the nation's history. It is a demographic transformation that, most experts believe, will result in a majority non-white population sometime before the end of the new century. A new American nation is coming into being before our very eyes, and many in the Jewish world are worried about it; some are even terrified.

>For the most part we continue to mouth the traditional policy line affirming generous — really, unlimited — immigration and open borders, though our own constituency is deeply divided on the policy, supports it with diminished enthusiasm, and even our legislative advocates seem to do so without conviction. Doubt has been growing for some years now. For those familiar with the behavior of mainstream Jewish organizations within the landscape of Washington-based coalitions, or for anyone with any mother wit, it is a commonplace that Jews find themselves on the political right with regard to almost any issue one might name on cold days in hell. But this has been regularly the case for at least nearly a decade at meetings of the National Immigration Forum, the key lobbying group for large-scale immigration, a group in which the Jewish organizations present are often alone in opposing what is, in essence, a policy of open borders.

I understand that you have no evidence of what you're saying and that you're just giving me your feelings. You have a strong feeling jews set racial quotas for colleges but you can't demonstrate that in any way. Your evidence is "come on bro just think about it".
>>
>>1342325
Yes
>>
>>1342513
>You have a strong feeling jews set racial quotas for colleges
So is this where you try to claim colleges don't take race into a factor during admission, or that it's not jews' fault that that happens?
>>
>>1342535
>So is this where you try to claim colleges don't take race into a factor during admission
This is the part where you try to shimmy the goalposts because you got caught being full of shit. Your claim wasn't that colleges take race into consideration. Your claim was that jews have imposed racial quotas on college admissions.

>or that it's not jews' fault that that happens?
I dunno, do you have any evidence of that other than "bro trust me"?

So you have no evidence jews were involved in setting racial quotas in anyway. Your evidence that colleges did something is because colleges did something. Got it.

>>1342592
>jews have put racial quotas on college admissions, that is why there was a court case about it
Great. Send me a link to any of the court documents which showed that jews were the ones who created and/or implemented racial quotas in college admissions.
