Harvard ‘Recruited to Reject’ Thousands of Black Kids, Study Shows
Kept African American admit rates down by pumping up applicant pool


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.
