I can't do it because it is socially unacceptable and politically incorrect. But, there is this professor at the University of Waterloo (or Western Ontario) who did a study and released the results and he was censured (try Google to find the study).

Also, did you know that California universities restrict the admission of a certain ethnic group because it would be grossly out of proportion to their demographics? If admission was based strictly on merit, this particular ethnic group would make up 80% (socially and politically unacceptable) of the university student population.

Michigan universities used to have a quota system to ensure that members of a certain visible minority group get admitted to university even though not justified by their scholastic scores.

if they are partially or in full funded by Federal or states they have to practice equal opportunity law, the same in Canada...

When has that ever stopped anyone on here? You know want to post the list. Don't make your race look timid.

No! No! No! It will bruise too many raw nerves. (There is already too many raw nerves in this forum.) It will be like quoting a study on which race has the largest cocks.

There are a lot of private universities in the U.S. The Michigan situation was I believe contested in court and the courts, if I remember correctly, said that universities cannot admit a lesser qualified candidate over a qualified candidate to meet a quota but I think the Michigan universities then changed the admission standards to include "intangibles" (open to interpretation).

Just did a quick Google of University of Michigan. Apparently, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2003 that a university can take race into consideration when admitting students to meet "affirmative action" and "diversity" objectives. This means that applicants of a particular race will be automatically awarded 20 points (sort like handicapping in golf). Otherwise, it would be unfair for those applicants to compete on a "level playing" field with applicants of other races.

It is because people have all sort of biases, even though they might not show it..but they do passively practice it whenever they feel safe, that the chance of getting into trouble is minimal ..

they look at your name, they guess if you are a Jew or Muslim...they look at the year you graduated from college, they guess if you are too old for job...things like that.. they see it on your resume, on your university application...
