Starting back in the 1970s, officials at America’s more selective colleges
and universities began using racial preferences to increase the percentages
of certain minority group students on campus. Preferences for certain groups
, however, also means preferences against others.
Early in the last century, some of the top universities had a quota for
Jewish students. Harvard, for example, capped their number because officials
didn’t want to risk upsetting Boston traditionalists who might be
disturbed to see Harvard become “too Jewish.”
It didn’t matter that many of the Jewish students were academically
superior to other applicants—officials just didn’t want to have too many. | b********n

It’s very revealing that at another of America’s elite universities, Cal
Tech, the percentage of Asian students has risen steadily, from 26 percent
in 1993 to 42.5 percent today. Cal Tech is notable for not playing the “
diversity” game with admissions and admitting students just based on their
evident academic strength, not on their race or ethnicity. | g*q
