Reply to comment by Obsolete-Prototype in [OC] Racial breakdown of students at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Stanford compared to students scoring 1400+ on the SAT by tabthough

Must these schools be gatekeepers for meritocracy? Or are they providing a world-class education as defined by themselves?

In other words, why should a private institution be required to serve a meritocratic function, rather than be free to determine for themselves the product they wish to offer?

because it's nothing more than an ego-stroke on a resume. The final result is a piece of paper that says 'I PLAYED THE GAME'. And guess what happens when the URM's that played the game goes into a job interview and the other candidates didn't get the pity admission?

LOL, Systematic racism is alive and well and you act like it's acceptable.

I just think it’s more complex than any single factor or goal. And I think there’s a free-market for private institutions so long as they’re not actively discriminating against any single individual or barring entire groups based on race.
