Coincidence? Well,

I don’t believe it is.

MIT’s Black student enrollment drops significantly after Supreme Court affirmative action ruling

The university’s white and Asian American student populations have increased, while all others have declined — some even down to zero, according to MIT.

Enrollment for Black and Latino students dropped at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the first class formed after the Supreme Court found race-conscious admissions in colleges unconstitutional.

The university’s admissions department on Wednesday released its first-year class profile, showing a sharp drop in its Black student population. About 5% of MIT’s incoming class of 2028 is Black, a significant drop from its 13% average in recent years. Latino students make up 11% of the class of 2028, compared to a 15% average in recent years. Overall, 1,102 students make up the incoming class.

Stu Schmill, MIT’s dean of admissions, attributed the drop to the high court’s 2023 decision to end consideration of race in the admissions process.

“We expected that this would result in fewer students from historically underrepresented racial and ethnic groups enrolling at MIT,” Schmill said of the ruling. “That’s what has happened.”

The white and Asian American student populations have increased, while all other groups have declined — some even down to zero, the profile shows. (snip-More) (grrrr)

One thought on “Coincidence? Well,

  1. Hi. Of course, that was the goal. The older right wing republican SCOTUS members are as raciest as the rest of maga. Even Thomas which surprises me. That is what all the attacks on DEI are about. The right’s view is any job that a white cis straight male is passed over for a black or LGBTQ+ person is white racism and totally wrong. Their view is whites get all management or “better jobs” while non-whites should have menial labor jobs only. They are that racist. They totally reject the idea of inclusion and integration of anyone other than white cis straight people. They desperately want to return the country to 1950 and segregation. Hugs. Scottie
