Harvard ‘Recruited to Reject’ Thousands of Black Kids, Study Shows
Kept African American admit rates down by pumping up applicant pool
https://freebeacon.com/issues/harvar...s-study-shows/Harvard systematically advertised to black students whose low standardized test scores gave them little chance of being admitted, a new study reveals, in what the authors suggest was a bid to obscure racial quotas at the university.
The paper, based on data made public by the ongoing discrimination lawsuit against Harvard, shows that starting in 2004 the university saw a substantial increase in the number of applications from low-scoring students, in particular African Americans. The study's authors—one of whom, Peter Arcidiacono, served as an expert witness for the lawsuit's plaintiff—argue that this increase was at least in part a deliberate policy choice by Harvard's admissions office to disguise affirmative action.
