Today, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case of Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v President and Fellows of Harvard College. Through the entirety of this case, Harvard has remained unwavering in its commitment to building the diverse learning communities that are essential to its teaching and research mission. We are hopeful that the Court will again uphold the ability of all colleges and universities to consider race as one factor among many in admissions.
President Larry Bacow shared his personal reflections this morning with the Harvard community. You can see his message below.

校长发言: Dear Members of the Harvard Community,
In a few hours, the Supreme Court will begin to hear oral arguments in our admissions case. Throughout my presidency, I have had opportunities to state the facts of the matter. I write now to share some personal reflections.
Whatever promise we hold as individuals—for ourselves and for our world—is not predicated on narrowly structured measures of academic distinction. When Harvard assembles a class of undergraduates, it matters that they come from different social, economic, geographical, racial, and ethnic backgrounds. It matters that they come to our campus with varied academic interests and skill sets. Research and lived experience teach us that each student’s learning experience is enriched by encountering classmates who grew up in different circumstances.
Harvard is not alone in believing that we are more than our test scores and that our unique perspectives bring a wealth of educational benefits to a high-quality educational enterprise. The legal battle we have waged, which reaches its apex today, is as important to other colleges and universities, and to society, as it is to us. Educators and scholars, civil rights organizers, historians, and education advocates stand with us. Leaders in business and technology stand with us. Former military officers and the heads of the nation’s service academies stand with us. Their voices—ringing out in amicus briefs—are part of a chorus that has risen across our campus and throughout our country in defense of forty years of legal precedent, as well as the history of the 14th Amendment.
Today, individuals of great skill will argue in favor of our cause inside the highest court in the land. This includes our colleagues from the University of North Carolina and the solicitor general of the United States. To all those who have worked hard to prepare us for today, thank you. To all those who have amplified and defended our argument on campus and elsewhere, thank you. We now await the final decision of the court with earnest anticipation. Whatever it is, we will honor the law while also remaining true to our values. May we continue to support and appreciate one another, as well as the institution we create together.

这个不仅仅是入学这件事，这对左派在整个社会推行基于种族的caste system一个巨大的阻止。

的很少。
所以无所谓对错。。。
去年我家已经用实际行动抵制了H，没有申请
的假的借口而已
这现在人家都收快30%是亚裔了，是亚裔人口比例的四倍了，还说人歧视，很难告倒的。
如果申請表是race-blinded 最後錄取結果會是和人口比例或是和現在一樣嗎？
如果不一樣 那就是有歧視了。
如果申請表是high school-blinded 最後錄取結果會是和現在一樣嗎？
如果不一樣 那就是有歧視了。
那些靠五花八门的补习，包装，不是真爱的ec等等的学生，不收也罢。想想看，如果哈佛70% 都是这类亚裔，那哈佛也不再是哈佛了。

你说人没有race-blind, 就是搞种族歧视。
那人家也没有sex-blind, 就是性别歧视。
人家也没有household income-blind, 就是贫富歧视。
人家也没有地理位置blind, 就是地区歧视。
同时还高中歧视，传承歧视。。。
这不可笑吗？
the purpose 吗，要是按种族配额，那个不是不合法吗
那直接抽奖好了，他要是说他是lottery录取我也没意见。瞎猫和死耗子，你俩自己玩去呗。可是凭什么说我们personality score不好
又有其他族裔远远的underserve，于是现在就是就更加照顾那些少数族裔了。。。不矛盾
