17% of kids graduate with Visual & Performing Arts degrees at NYU. What relevance do test scores have for their admissions vs a portfolio of their work/performances?
Math, Engineering and CS are under 20% of enrollees.
So in addition to a admissions scandal, this is also a rather critical info breach.
Many such cases.
The interesting question is, now that this information has been publicized, will the DoJ pursue a civil rights case for what appears to be a fairly blatant case of racial discrimination against white and Asian students?
And a huge % of the foreign students are Asian as well.
College admissions are not a single-metric first-past-the-post process like time to run a marathon or votes won in an election.
Hard to argue whatever balance of quantitative/qualitative inputs they are using actually harms Asian admissions.
Is that the reality? or is it middle class and less advantaged white/asian kids giving way to middle class black/hispanic ones? Or worse, is it simply raising the bar for asians because there are too many of them in higher education like they did to jews?
Impossible to have adult conversations with these types of provocateurs.
Where is the adult conversation you claimed to want? We can talk about the reality that racial discrimination fuels racial tensions in general. That we have now reached a point in society where there are numerous mismatches in discrimination, in some places you are likely to be discriminated against if you're black, in some places you are likely to be discriminated against if you are white. The goal of ending racial discrimination was to end discrimination not just shift around the targets. It's unfortunate how people don't seem to realize that.
The real problem is classism and economic diversity more than racial diversity now. Schools like Harvard are moderately diverse on race, but economically not at all.. something like 90% of kids come from families that are upper income.
If you are trying to raise all boats, then economic class is a better method since given the relative amount of people .. there are actually more poor white people than any other race, even if white people experience poverty at a relatively lower % rate.
This also avoids all the racial resentment / reverse racism issues.
So there's your adult conversation, but I don't think OP posting a link to a racist defacement of a website was looking for that.
There is a place for a conversation on the merits of affirmative action, but this isn't that place.
- Identifies universities illegally racially discriminating
- Provides all the data needed to prove it
- Removes all the PII
NYU has no moral ground to stand on. They got owned by the nicest possible hacker.
For a lot of these schools, foreign admissions are a big economic contributor because foreign nationals pay full freight (plus sometimes additional costs/fees). From wikipedia in 2022 the largest racial group at NYU was actually foreign nationals at 24%, with current estimates as high as 28%.
After that the remaining 76%, the biggest groups are - 23% White & 19% Asian anyway. If you decompose the foreign national numbers down, they are majority European & Asian country of origin. From some light googling, it would seem 15% of NYU students are Chinese & Indian nationals, above and beyond the 19% Asian American. So overall its hard to see admissions as being terribly discriminatory in this particular regard at NYU..
MIT.school is the same story except they sent lawyers after me and sued me.
These orgs do not have competent security teams.
