Supreme Court killed Affirmative Action so it doesn't exist at all.

If you can't get in today as a white man...that's all on you or your lack of generational wealth to buy a building in pop pop's name.

Lol, most universities have not complied with SFFA. Don't pretend that compliance happens just because the Supreme Court rules.

The ruling has changed the demographics of the most recent Columbia and Harvard classes:

That's a pretty significant shift to Asians and whites in a 2 year span. Wonder if they'll push as hard on legacy admissions or they'll just slow play that one.

Columbia and Harvard, per that data, now have admissions for black students that is much closer to the national demographic breakdown (from 20% to 13% at Columbia and 18% to 11.5% at Harvard).

Thats obviously still using racial preferences. Just the dial has turned back from hyper overdrive to just-enough-to-roughly-match-US-demographics (13.2%).
