My Posted Comment to WSJ Opinion, "What Role Should Race Play in Admissions?"

My posted comment to The Wall Street Journal Opinion, "What Role Should Race Play in Admissions? ‘Holistic’ policies put Asian-Americans at a disadvantage, and they’re fighting back." by William A. Galston:

Increasing the admitted Harvard class enrollment of an underrepresented minority can be done without decreasing the admitted number of other racial/ethnic groups through expansion and increasing total enrollment. Instead, Harvard chose the discriminatory method of increasing a minorities representation by decreasing the enrollment of another racial/ethnic group. Consistently favoring one racial ethnic group over another is unlawful discrimination. Harvard has had plenty of time since the 1978 US Sup Ct Bakke decision to raise funding and expand its facilities to allow for an increase in underrepresented minorities without decreasing any other racial/ethnic group’s admission rate. Harvard chose a discriminatory solution that limits the total enrollment of all minorities by forcing one member of a minority group to give up a seat for another minority group.
