This workaround is explicitly called out in the decision as also unconstitutional, but they're trying to buy another 50 years of racist policies before the courts act on it.
Yeah he's quoting the dissent & the majority explicitly stated that "no, you can't just discriminate with a loophole, the dissent is wrong & isn't authority".
The libs won't comply. They will need to be sued dozens of times in favorable jurisdictions & hit with heavy judgments until they get so blasted with lawsuits that they finally cave in & switch to a merit-based racially blind system out of fear of lawsuits.
It will take at least 5-10 years to get to the point where we see a real end to racism in college admissions.
Was with you right up until, “and switch to a merit-based racially blind system“. The radical left never relents. They always double down. Just as you said, they won’t comply. You can already see them out on Reddit today, saying how the policy just needs to be switched to “socioeconomic”.
They’re going to do exactly what they do in California to get around it here. Discriminate exactly how they want, but just do it more nebulously.
Nothing but ending the left’s control of the narrative will stop them. If you change that, then you can have the public get upset at the situation, and if you can finally do that, you can finally work on driving them out of the positions they have entrenched themselves in, that allow them to enforce policies like this.
As always, the real issue is control of the narrative.
Nothing but ending the left will stop them
There can be no peace, only victory. They won't be giving us any other options. Even surrender would mean death at a later time.
20-30. Recruiting, Marketing, and HR are littered with this shit, and everyone else in the college is a rabid Leftist who would rather die than not racially discriminate against their own staff and students.
There's a point of no return with institutional capture and Leftists. I compare it to making Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold hall monitors. You don't fire them. They'd rather burn down the school with everyone inside then remove them from power. Your only real option is to evacuate the ones who can leave, let the school be destroyed, and starve them out by cutting funding and income.
Reddit. Reddit is a perfect example of this.
Look what the shitbag left is doing over there, with regards to the stupid fiasco over the API changes.
First the power jannies locked nearly all the major subs (and tons of niche ones, as well) down for a couple of days, specifically so no one could use the site. Then, when their tantrum didn't get them what they wanted, they switched to longer/"permanent" blackouts. Then, when that didn't work, and they were told they were going to be removed as moderators if they didn't stop acting like toddlers, they doubled down on that, and started filling the entire site with porn, and stupid crap like the john oliver pics, etc, in an attempt to tank the value of the site by destroying its ability to host ads.
It's a perfect microcosm. It is exactly what happens when you let the radical left take control of something - i.e., you get what you fucking deserve.
The Left also knows that the only correct option is to purge them.
And even then they will still do it all begrudingly.
By that time I hope enough people will see the value in avoiding college.
Ya that won't happen because the courts are packed with the chosen few who have deep connections to Harvard, Yale, Princeton etc. They won't rule against their benefactors and support networks.
Especially since the next sentence in the majority opinion is "we know you'll try this shit, and it's also illegal."
The conventional wisdom that attending a top-50 school makes you smart is not uttered by bright people. What's changed is that you can't even trust the smart, promising graduates if they don't explicitly denounce DEI when prodded.
It's not even a thing in academic circles. Harvard is the most respected, not the best. I had several ivy League profs in my university.
They all admitted my rink a dink school was better because we wanted to learn and not use our status to get good grades. A history prof pointed out the big names were more for building up a network, not the education or abilities made. This is why the history department started to work on creating networks for job placement outside of academia.
This seems like a foundational pillar of modern liberal orthodoxy.
That is very true. We should listen to the most respected because we put them there. But which We are we talking about?
Seems to me a lot of people recognize that undergraduate degrees in particular don't count for that much. Business and other professional degrees still seem to be valued. On the bachelors degrees again, if you want to pursue certain career tracks, going to an exclusive school is the main way people get their foot in the door. Depending on what you want to do, it might be a waste of money. Particularly, if you intend to get another degree. The name on that one might matter more. And you gotta pay for it all.
The true value in attending colleges like Harvard has nothing to do with education and everything to do with the connections you can make while there.
People look at Harvard graduates being successful and making bank and assume it's due to intelligence, when they're just seeing blatant nepotism in action.
Most lucrative corporations will swallow up any ivy league grad they can get their hands on, which means you should be cautious of any who is job-seeking on the open market. As a competitor, figure out how you can spot talent overlooked by other employers.

Ivy League is a way to keep the power within the tribe, if you catch my drift.
Is anyone even surprised? They don't do it because they have to, they do it because they CAN. These institutions are basically hedge funds that do education on the side. They will do whatever they want and just donate money to make sure nothing ever hurts them while earning millions each year simply on investments.
And why is any application saying how race has affected their life taken seriously. Any black teen Agee can just make some sob story because they most likely have been brainwashed to see everything as racist. What if a white kid was beat up by some black bullies?
But I feel like colleges will discriminate and call is holistic or something
Everyone in admissions was already put there due to Affirmative Action.
They are literally just looking for dogwhistles.
Now go up one more level of indoctrination and ask why helping minorities is a necessary thing and makes you a good person. This is taught behavior.
“How race has effected your life.”
Make sure to code it black without ever saying your black and boom, easy money if they kick you out. Maybe ChatGPT can help with that.
OK. Start taxing their 50 billion+ endowment and using it to fund scholarships to non-racist universities.
Remember when this was considered the best University in the whole World?
Yeah, me neither
Just bare-assed showing you how badly they want to discriminate against the smartest people in society. Pathetic.
This statement is also just 100% virtue signaling, they literally didn't need to say anything and it's not in their best interest to do so (legally speaking).
Jesus Christ, calm down psycho.
Closing the public school system will be fine.
He's not a psycho. Day after day that seems like the only viable option for many such issues.
Only to fucking psychos and glowies.
