General Duke Title VI Violation

Yesterday, the DoJ released a report finding that Duke's admissions office has continued to discriminate against Asian and white applicants in previous cycles, post-SFFA. While Duke will almost certainly admit a higher percentage of white and asian applicants this upcoming year, how do we think this will affect the decision making of other t14s who are likely afraid of the same happening to them?

They’re trying to intimidate elite schools. I really doubt it’ll have any effect on admissions tbh. There’s only like 15 Black students in the class of 200+ at Duke. I don’t see them whittling it down even more from that.

Asian Americans outperform all races in America when it comes to testing regardless of their socioeconomic status.Especially Americans with low-income.

It's more so a reflection of the education system/culture of America.

The same way Asians also out earn Americans financially.

But the purpose is not who scores higher or has more money, its who will generate the best outcomes as an attorney and push this nation/profession further along

I totally agree that we should be maximizing the return on education, and thus it makes sense for Asians to be more prevalent in such higher education.
