IGotWorms 4,017 Posted Tuesday at 11:13 PM They’ve sure been winning a lot lately. In fact, I bet they’re even tired of winning so much!! The number of Black students entering Harvard Law School dropped sharply this fall after last year’s Supreme Court decision banning affirmative action in college admissions, according to enrollment data released on Monday. Harvard Law enrolled 19 first-year Black students, or 3.4 percent of the class, the lowest number since the 1960s, according to the data from the American Bar Association. Last year, the law school’s first-year class had 43 Black students, according to an analysis by The New York Times. While changes in data calculation might explain some year-to-year changes, the decline at Harvard was much sharper than at other elite law schools. It was notable not only for its severity but also because of the school’s past role in educating some of the nation’s best-known Black lawyers, including former President Barack Obama, the former first lady Michelle Obama, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and the former Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick. The Supreme Court decision, and the fact that Harvard College was named in the case, played a role, according to David B. Wilkins, a Harvard law professor who has studied Black representation in the legal profession. “This obviously has a lot to do with the chilling effect created by that decision,” Mr. Wilkins said on Monday. “This is the lowest number of Black entering first-year students since 1965,” he added, pointing to numbers compiled by the Center on the Legal Profession at Harvard, where he also serves as faculty director. That year, there were 15 entering Black students. Since 1970, there have generally been 50 to 70 Black students in Harvard Law’s first-year class, he said. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/16/us/harvard-law-black-students-enrollment-decline.html 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonmx 2,195 Posted Wednesday at 10:40 AM Harvard has done nothing to help out poor blacks get ahead. They cheated the stats by fluffing their numbers up by getting upper class wealthy blacks from mega wealthy South African families or the wealthy mixed race people, or those from more prosperous groups from the west indies or the caribbean. Virtually none of the black students Harvard admitted were ever from poor descendents of slaves. Instead they got the Kamala Harris types who came from slave-owwning wealthy families. Other Ivy league schools did a better job than Harvard at getting some actual diversity of disadvantaged groups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
