Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Law School Organization Holds Conference On How to Violate the Constitution and Evade the Law and Continue Practicing Hardcore Racial DiscriminationOf course. The law does not apply to the lawless left. They are the aristocracy. They make the law, they do not suffer it.The Association of American Law Schools (AALS) held a conference in July discussing how higher education institutions can continue to racially discriminate, following a ruling by the Supreme Court banning race-based admissions policies, according to videos reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation. In June, the Supreme Court ruled that Harvard University and the University of North Carolina's use of race-based admissions policies is unconstitutional, halting the practice in all higher education institutions. In early July, AALS held a conference featuring several panels and speakers who suggested institutions use recruiting tactics, diversity statements as well as "data and analysis" to increase racial diversity. ... "A lot of us have looked this problem square in the eye before, or this issue, and have come up with creative solutions to maintain the kinds of classes that we want," Cary Lee Cluck, University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law Assistant Dean, said during the seminar. "This is just another moment in time where we have to stop and reassess." Kristin Theis-Alvarez, assistant dean of Admissions and Financial Aid at the UC Berkeley School of Law, noted Berkeley has a four-page personal statement that was a "direct outcome" of California's Proposition 209 in 1996, which put a stop to affirmative action in the state, according to the seminar. The school also allows applicants to submit an optional socioeconomic questionnaire and diversity statement rather than explicitly asking for race during the admissions process, Theis-Alvarez said.And they're pushing the "personal statement" as the only criteria for admission because it allows black students to identify as such in official application materials. Previously, these schools claimed that Asians just didn't have "good personalities" and discriminated against them; now they'll just say "the personal statement was boring and didn't have the kind of passion I was looking for." Harvard, UMass, and Tuft's are all similarly scheming to subvert the law. They're employing the same "tell us you're black in your personal statement and how being black means you're black and have black perspectives on matters of black diversity" tactic previewed at the conference discussed above. I like black music, black athletes, and black comedians. Am I diverse now? Oh no I can't be, because I'm white. The "background" statement is just a signal to look at my picture and verify my race. But this is the basic idea: We won't admit students based on race. Wink. We'll just admit them on their "diverse" background features and interests, which have nothing (wink to do with race. ... Colleges can also consider how an applicant's race has shaped their personal experience, as detailed in students' application essays or letters of recommendation, the guidance states.That's the Biden Administration once again defying the courts. The Supreme Court said they could not admit based on race, and Biden is telling them: Keep on admitting based on race. Just call it their "personal experience in living as a member of the black race."

Was always thus. Even when colleges were legally allowed to discriminate based on race, they were always careful to cover it up with a thick layer of bullshit along these exact same lines.
The colleges always wanted to say, "no we didn't accept Jameel Blacky McBlack because he's black, we accepted him because of the value he'll bring to Harvard of his background growing up black." They did the same for Asians only in the opposite direction. "We didn't deny Chang Ting Chen because he's Asian, we denied him because of the lack of value his background as a boring, yellow, rice-eating, slanty-eyed flat-face would bring to Harvard.

Congress should pass a law that if your Uni endowment passes a certain level, student admission must be free of charge. Below that, it should be pro-rated. Endowments are supposed to be for allowing the upkeep and expansion of the school. Unless Harvard is planning on invading China, it doesn't need that kind of cash.

And high school grads hoping to secure a spot at Tufts are being asked: 'How have the environments or experiences of your upbringing -- your family, home, neighborhood, or community -- shaped the person you are today?'
++++ As a member of the ruling class establishment, my background - including my family and home life - has demonstrated that I am born to power, which coincides well with my will to power. We were the minority in my neighborhood, as most of my neighbors are professionals of some kind - bankers, executives, engineers, etc. - but we are the only elite family on the block. Being the "odd man out" was very troubling throughout my youth, and I have come to understand that revolutionary change is necessary. At Tufts, I hope to learn how to continue to leverage my elite position to ensure that enclaves for people like me do not include anyone who is not part of establishment power structure. Ethnic diversity, of course, will remain high. Posted by: Tufts Hopeful at August 18, 2023 03:42 PM (kBSKe) 98

I'm off the reservation on this one.
1. What they are talking about is admission into Communist madrasas. So what? They may as well just admit those who already support them. Why in the world do we care? 2. I really don't see college admissions as closely tied to ability as others do, and am not clear that they should be. Remember, it was precisely the "merit based" admissions systems which were in place for the last quarter of the 20th C which produced the "meritocracy" which David Brooks is so proud to be part of. 3. I also don't think the vast majority of those in a position to choose are capable of picking the best. Both my personal experience and my reading of history convinces me of this. The best thing to do would be to put in broad minimum requirements. Then choose by lot among all who qualify. Posted by: Eeyore at August 18, 2023 03:43 PM (brAQZ) 103
[P]reviously, these schools claimed that Asians just didn't have "good personalities" and discriminated against them; now they'll just say "the personal statement was boring and didn't have the kind of passion I was looking for."
--- But with the disparate outcome inference that we are now used to, they really can't get those judgements too far apart, or that would be indication of bias in recruiting. If disparate outcome almost inevitably points to discrimination, these colleges become liable at almost any skew. Posted by: Michelle Fields at August 18, 2023 03:43 PM (krQz2) 104

I've been thinking that for a while now and one of its most beneficial side effects would be to show up the uselessness of all their so-called "Studies" curricula. "Studies" courses are not academic studies but nothing more than navel gazing. We used to call this kind of bullshit 'underwater basket weaving' classes. And laughed at and mocked them. Now graduates with those types of degrees are running/commissar-ing HR departments for crying out loud.

My daughter is now a college drop-out, after 1 day of classes.
They told her in a Title IX class that she could be charged with harassment if she refused to use a students' preferred pronouns, they went on to tell her that the University would help female students with access to abortion services, they sent a 'dating-guru' to encourage students to fuck each other and the president said "This is a Christian college, but you can live whatever lifestyle you want here." After hearing all that, she decided that perhaps the extra tuition she was paying to go to a private "Christian" university might not be worth it and withdrew.

Many men just disengage and live minimalist lives of mediocre jobs, videos games, porn and mild drugs, drifting aimlessly. Women burn themselves out trying to be everything, sleeping around "like the boys", going to school, working hard at jobs, traveling....and then, as they cross into their 30s and want to settle down, they don't want to marry men making less than them, but the number of men that meet their standards in small, and are either content playing the field as an attractive man, or looking to settle down with younger, more attractive women.

Because of that carrot, parents all over the USA have submitted their kids to the ministrations of half-wits (by and large) who are the gatekeepers for their future.

Some really smart law school (and medical school, and dental school, etc.), will make sure that they take only the best and brightest, regardless of all the "special" categories of people, and will churn out the best lawyers (and doctors and dentists, etc). Those people will ultimately rise to the top of their professions, because sooner or later you DO have to prove your mettle out in the real world. Incompetent lawyers don't get clients. Incompetent doctors kill people and get sued. It'll happen. Maybe not soon enough, but it will. The world cannot run on dullards for very long.

That's what the value of diversity for the sake of diversity delivers; when skin color trumps competence.
Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at August 18, 2023 04:04 PM (yw7eP) It's not just diversity, i don't think. The majority of every racial group would probably say "oh shit, there's an emergency, sound the alarm. Oh shit, the firemen need water, give them water". It's not just the racial spoils system, it's that the spoils are actively funneled towards the most spoiled. They intentionally find the biggest imbeciles they can muster, because they believe in the deepest parts of their racist little souls that competence is White and White is Wrong. It's also why the majority of white people in these rackets like corporations or state governance are also imbeciles. Sure, they're White, but at least they're stupid.

Since we are on the topic of lawyers and the law, Randy Quaid and his wife are going to be found to be vexatious litigants on Monday. Unless the judge goes against her tentative.
He and his wife sold their house in the 90s to someone, that sold it to some other people in about 2005 and those people have been in court with the quaid's for a while. I believe that the quaids were even caught inside the property at one point 10 years ago. The court system is broken. Local gossip. Randy and his wife are legit crazy. They sold a house, then later broke into the guest house and were found living there. Article here: https://is.gd/PBmKF3 Posted by: bonhomme at August 18, 2023 04:13 PM (0N1h0) 273

The new policy of just hating whitey is much worse than affirmative action, which had as its goal a student body that replicated society in general.
One could expect a school to have 12 to 14 percent black students in that scenario, comprised of those who earned their way in and the remainder through some bullshit rigged system. "Diversity" has as its only goal less white male, with no end in sight. It's legalized ghetto-ing and hatred of an out group. After all, a group of nineteen blacks and one white is more diverse than a group with 18 and two. Tell me where I'm wrong Posted by: OneEyedJack at August 18, 2023 04:18 PM (FCbAQ) 293

We'll just admit them on their "diverse" background features and interests, which have nothing (wink to do with race.

It was the most exhilarating academic experience you can imagine back then; while the faculty was already skewed solidly left there was no indoctrination and conservative viewpoints were respected.
