Who is “we” ?
Ivy league colleges are not public organizations. They should be able to admit or deny whomever they want for any reason without the gubmint telling them what to do.
The mindset of both liberals and conservatives is that they feel they have the right to use government to force everyone to behave the way they want them to behave. It is a basic assumption of both sides that I simply can’t understand.
The entire country seems to have lost their minds in this regard – note FlyerInHi’s comment that he thinks “we should have good policies that lift up people and improve aggregate wealth” as if “we” have the right to decide how Harvard chooses their students.
Arguing over whether or not affirmative action is effective is useless when the whole idea of telling a private institution how to manage their affairs is unethical.
Why not let each school do what they want and let the chips fall where they may ?
