You know what would be interesting? If Harvard, Princeton or Stanford simply said "any African American who can score a 1500 on the SATs gets in automatically, and gets a free ride." Let's see how many African Americans can meet that challenge. I'm sure an industry would develop to coach the smarter African American kids. It still wouldn't change the numbers much.

I find it unamusing that the FBI is always called in on these fake "hate crimes," the perpetrators always lie to them (at first, anyway) and no matter how much trouble is stirred up, the FBI and US Attorney just go away after the hoax is discovered. The perpetrators are never prosecuted, even though the Martha Stewart case alerted everyone in America that even immaterial lies to a FBI agent (much less false criminal complaints) are Federal felonies which bring hard time even for first offenders who have done no actual harm.

Didja notice that CMC got to keep its USN&WR top-ten rank even though it faked its stats? Talk about liberal solidarity-- it seems admitting unqualified NAM's is such a mitzvah that it excuses peccadillos like lying about test scores in order to cheat other applicants of the college experience surrounded by other high-quality students that those applicants seek.

Hate Hoaxes are getting wilder than the Protocols of Elders of Zion.
It's like the new Crucible where Jews, gays, and colored folks see white devil everywhere.

But it be true. Last night, a bunch of whiteys burned a cross on my lawn, raped my mulatto wife, spray-painted 'N-s must die' and swastikas on my garage door, and shot my dog cuz it be black.

I remember seeing this months ago & being disappointed the Claremont dean wasn't comedian Rich Vos

What would be the purpose? H & P already give a free ride below a given IRS threshold and they don't have to specify the race.

Peter: Harvard's black quota is roughly the size of the total number scoring over 1400, back in 2 part days.

How many supposed "hate crimes" actually are hoaxes? Let's see - we have this one, Sharpton's Tawana Brawley hoax, the Duke lacrosse team rape hoax, the Jena 6 hoax, and the Trayvon Martin case in which it's already been shown that the national new media deliberately altered or suppressed information. There must be many other such instances.

Indeed, there's something basically fraudulent about the entire concept of "hate crime." Any crime of violence against person or property is still a crime whatever may be the racial or ethnic antipathies of its perpetrator. The objective of agitation to outlaw "hate crimes" is to extend the definition of crime to encompass the mere adherence to, or expression of, politically incorrect sentiments. It is, in other words, designed to proscribe heresies against the reigning secular orthodoxy. The baleful potential of such a new type of inquisition has already been demonstrated in several European countries, Britain, and Canada.

More likely, it's because:

a. They're in the club, so they will get a pass where outsiders would not.

b. The rankings are gamed extensively by everyone, and so zero tolerance for dishonesty would serve most or all top schools very badly.

>shot my dog cuz it be black<

The latest SWPL fad is to decry disparate adoption rates of black dogs (canis lupus familiaris) from pounds and encourage increased adoption of them. I kid you not.

For now, the shaggy victims are called simply "black dogs" and include all manner of darks. But surely a more sensitive term will be invented eventually.

Yeah, it's HYPS, although Stanford has jumped Princeton.

Which suggests that Princeton might want to consider starting law and business schools.

The CMC hoax took place in March 2004, not 2002.

The Jena 6 & Trayvon Martin cases aren't fabrications like the other incidents mentioned. A real event happened which was construed differently by some people and also happened to gain massive media attention.

There's another lez hate hoax in the news this time Colorado triggered by a classic neighborhood don't let your dog poop on my lawn argument. The perps in these cases are just nasty sociopaths who don't give a damn. A crafty old dyke played the hoax card! But then the cops got wise to the witch!

Had to yawn and say WHO CARES? The OBSESSION with college stats is completely pointless beyond a certain level. I blew a lot of dough on college and grad school and I can't tell you what the average SAT score or class rank was. Heck I'm not too sure where my original diploma is and graduation wasn't that long ago.

Anyway there is no way I would want to go to a university that does not consider race, gender, tax bracket, and sexual orientation in admissions. If a place such as that exists 90% of the people there are asian women. Yes my friend they now have affirmative action for WHITE MALES and I'm glad they do.
