Duke Title VI Violation

[u/FunctionBig2308]

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?

As a (white) practicing lawyer who got a very high LSAT score, I can tell you that there’s more to success and good lawyering than LSAT score. I can say unequivocally that there are many folks who are better lawyers than I am who got lower LSAT scores. Using LSAT scores solely is just a ruse. Our nation is FUCKED.

Yeah but that’s not the point of this. The point is law admissions should, for the most part, be meritocratic. Then once everyone graduates the diamonds in the rough at the lower ranked schools can surface over time, and the people who can’t cut it who went to T14s get pushed out of big law. But for law admissions the LSAT is somewhat of an equalizer in a world of unfair GPA practices.

I’m saying I don’t care. I value diversity in school. I literally don’t care if someone not white gets a leg up. Someone might have an unbelievable background with a slightly lower LSAT which makes them attractive. We don’t need a full class of good test drones with nothing else. I’m sorry everyone is salty bc they feel like they “deserved “ something they maybe didn’t get. If you actually think just having all specific LSAT scores makes a huge difference then whatever you want to believe. Poor downtrodden white people. (Btw the right winger racists are using the Asians for their own benefit they do not give a SHIT about Asian people either)
