Well… Paul’s KKK card has been… renewed for the ‘24 – ‘25 academic year.

Even though he acknowledges that current Supreme Court rulings absolutely allow all US public and private universities to consider factors beyond just numerical scores on tests and GPA, when composing their entering freshman classes… he inexplicably immediately accuses at least three excellent universities of violating the law.

Yet in a subsequent paragraph, he openly acknowledges that factors such as essays that explain “barriers” any given applicant might overcome in order to reach admission at a given university… are perfectly lawful considerations when admitting freshman classes. And it is absolutely true that people of color may be identified and then admitted at least in part on the basis of such essays… along with the host of other factors, including GPA and test results.

But he needs to stoke the racists’ fires, so he simply labels it as unlawful. What a putz:

…It’s clear to me that Emory is not complying with the Supreme Court’s decisions in the Harvard and UNC cases. But proving this might be difficult because Emory, no doubt, will claim that it’s basing the decisions that enable it to keep black representation high on factors other than race, including barriers that black applicants claim to have overcome.

It’s doubtful that the University of Virginia is complying, either…

Why on Earth would he write that?

I think — like Hinderaker — the thing speaks for itself.

I hope one or more of these universities will seek his apology and retraction, lest they sue him for defamation.

He falsely accuses the universities violating the law. That’s libel per se.

Out.
