Status of your father!

The problem with you as a foil, Earl, which is all you are, is you're too easy. The question was why would Harvard as a private university be subject to the ruling and the answer is that any university that accepts public funds, and Harvard does accept them,
is subject to Title VI. The court's precedent would not apply to Harvard otherwise. That question of law was the sum total of the post and answer.

You evaded my question, Marty…as usual.

I don’t question the fact that Harvard accepts public funds and therefore is subject to the Supreme Court decision.

Otra vez, after the Supreme Court decision, do you really believe that any university is going to use race as a determinant for entrance to their university and risk billions in lawsuits?

Almost all universities accept some form of public funds and those that don’t would be committing an act of open racism if they used race as a part of the entrance requirements.

You’re pretty easy yourself, Marty.

No, most ethical people would not admit an unqualified student despite the amount of money Fred Trump donated to them.

Rather than looking at race, why not award "points" (or whatever they call their systems) based on h.s. academic achievement (#1), economic status of the applicant's high school with points going to a student from less affluent areas with rural or urban, major/area of study (is it in a field that is likely to be in demand, like STEM?).

Agreed. A meritocracy is best.

Even better, IMO, is to maximize the education of all Americans K-12....which is what We, the People, should have been doing all along but haven't. Only 8% of school funding is Federal. The remaining 92% is local. Poor counties and poor states produce poor students. Giving a poor student a free ride at community college isn't the solution.

First, it depends upon the funds and the purpose. If Harvard has a federal grant for medical research, does that apply to the Harvard School of Business or Law?

If you take a dime from the Federal government in support for a medical condition, does this allow them to dictate your life? Search your home? Of course not. That'd be fucking stupid.

You hound me every day but find me "easy"? In that case be a man and find someone better to bother.

It's a start though, and allows the low income student a chance to prove that he/she is college material. I suggested admission policies that include giving extra weight to outstanding students from such low-income districts as a way of evening the score to some degree. Many universities now offer free rides to qualified students whose families' income falls below a particular threshold.

It’s an open forum, Marty and you once again, evaded my question.

Yes, you are easy, a soft target, Marty.

Here’s the solution to your problem, Marty.

Stop being an easy, soft target.

Entiendes, Marty?

Their choice, but I think American taxpayers will benefit most from better educated HS students instead of only focusing upon college students....which is the current DNC mantra.

Supreme court says racy cannot be a factor for admissions, but status of your father can.

If your parents can donate a huge chunk of money or if granddaddy graduated that can be the only factor.

Yeah...the status of Hunter Biden's father has saved him from YEARS in prison....in addition to getting him $billions in grift payments.

well Fredo, I have heard of getting under someone skin or getting on someone's nerves

when you pick low hanging fruit and find it has turned to mush, it can be frustrating. so that is why you see people frustrated with you all the time

Thanks, but somehow I think it's not that. You can go back to your Right wing circle jerk now.

When I was a prosecutor and someone turned themselves in for an economic crime, paid back the money plus fines and interest, if they had no criminal record… we let them plea guilty so its on their record and let them off the hook.

Wasn't Hunter hunted down and only confessed when caught? :D
