To Reduce Inequality, Abolish Ivy League

[cmsjmt]

The problem with this part of the proposal would mean that the Ivies would end being mostly Asians, the lingua franca would be Mandarin and Korean, the athletic teams would totally suck (although the orchestras would have deep bench strength at the violin position), diversity would go out the window (blacks and hispanics would be rare), and everyone would crowd into pre-med classes with virtually no one in liberal arts. US universities are not like Chinese universities (which have a single test and anyone who gets above a certain level, gets in – although even there discrimination into the tippy top universities works by score) and the Asians just can’t seem to get over that fact…

That’s why I always say the Ivies+SM should be 100% URM, since studies have shown URMs benefitted more than any other group from having gone to an elite school. It’ll also make it less intimidating for them to go into STEM with less competition from those test obsessed greasy grinds from Stuy or Bronx Science. This should continue until income of blacks is at parity with whites.
