Good. Although well intentioned, this is racism and racism has no place in higher education.

Agreed. For one thing, "race" buckets are far too broad. "Asian" is a term that represents ~60% of the world population, lumping countries as diverse as Indonesia, North Korea, Bangladesh and Kazahkstan together.

So you also agree legacy admissions should be banned? that schools should be funded based on number of students not wealth or race of the neighborhood? that college prep programs should be made available to everyone?

I don't think paying your way into collage has anything to do with being a protected class.

Not familiar with the US university system, but aren't these institutions run independent of the government?

[johntiger1]

Yep, legacy admissions are not great, but it's an orthogonal issue.

I’m ok with literally all of that.
