Can someone explain it to me what the hackers actually meant and what the school is supposed to do? Mistreat these Asian kids with stern parents who force them to study until late night - because what? I believe it's barking up the wrong tree.

The hackers insinuate that the school is discriminating against white and asian applicants, in favor of black applicants.

If you look at % breakdowns of elite universities now (though I sort of hesitate to include NYU in that bucket..), one of the biggest / fastest growing groups would be how many foreign nationals they admit now vs 10/20/30 years ago.

For a lot of these schools, foreign admissions are a big economic contributor because foreign nationals pay full freight (plus sometimes additional costs/fees). From wikipedia in 2022 the largest racial group at NYU was actually foreign nationals at 24%, with current estimates as high as 28%.

After that the remaining 76%, the biggest groups are - 23% White & 19% Asian anyway. If you decompose the foreign national numbers down, they are majority European & Asian country of origin. From some light googling, it would seem 15% of NYU students are Chinese & Indian nationals, above and beyond the 19% Asian American. So overall its hard to see admissions as being terribly discriminatory in this particular regard at NYU..
