     We heard through the grapevine that this would be a good year for AsAms to apply to Harvard. Why? Because Harvard normally admits more AsAms under legal pressure. Next year, the Supreme Court will likely decide whether to accept the case of Student For Fair Admission vs. Harvard. Harvard wants to avoid that court trial. Hence, the legal pressure is at its highest.

    Read on to see proof that Harvard yields under legal pressure. Harvards' % enrollment of AsAms hovered around 17% for 2 decades, from 1991 to 2011, during which the population of Asians, aged 18 to 21, doubled. See below:

   However, in 2014, when Student For Fair Admission, SFFA, sued Harvard for discrimination against AsAms in Boston's District Court, its AsAm enrollment increased to 20%. In 2018, it further increased to 23%. In 2020 i.e. class of 2024, it increased "by 6% to 28.6%". Click here and scroll down to the paragraph entitled "Demographics" to verify that Harvards' class of 2024 increase to 28.6% AsAms.

    Let's reflect on the above info. Do the rapid increases in AsAm enrollment, during SFFA's law suits against Harvard, convince you that Harvard was clearly discriminating against AsAms during the 2 decades from1991 to 2011? Of course. Can you be sure that Harvard is not discriminating against us even today? Of course not, remembering that Harvard has a discriminatory personality rating in its "wholistic evaluation" of applicants?

    Do you now clearly understand what Harvard responds to? Yes, legal pressure!

Whom do we thank for Harvard's apparent improvement?

    Our thanks should go to SFFA which is led by Ed Blum, who is a friend of

80-20, and therefore YOU, have supported Blum since 2012. 80-20 may even have played a role in inducing Ed Blum to sue Harvard for discrimination against AsAms. EF has donated $10,000 per year to SFFA for the last 4 years, although that amount is only a pittance compared with the millions of dollars of legal fees that Blum had raised to wage the legal battle against Harvard on behalf of AsAm youth.

    Don't relax. Think! Could Harvard back track, if the Supreme Court doesn't make a permanent ruling to stop discriminatory college admissions???
