Honest question - what is your opinion on "race" as a consideration in college admissions? Couple of facts: 1. Asian Americans are very prominent members and leaders of Students for Fair Admissions. [SFFA filed suit against Harvard that is currently being heard in the Supreme Court]. as they believe that more Asians Americans will be admitted to elite universities. [This may not be true as Asians are already admitted at a rate much higher than percentage of population. For example, Asians are about 6% of the population in U.S.A. but 44% of the college population of University of California at Berkeley] 2. If admitted on credentials only, SFFA believes that many more Asians would be admitted and many fewer of other races (white, black, et al) 3. Purdue’s main campus enrolls about 8% of Asian applicants and about 3% of black Americans.
I know that affirmative action has helped women and minorities so that makes me skeptical of overturning Grutter v Bolingbrook and University of California v Bakke.
