My reasoning is Asian Americans are 5% of the population but are way over-represented at prestigious universities.
There are numerous case studies/articles/research by Asian Americans/Model Minroty etc etc that discusses why Asian Americans chase prestige.
Anecdotally, we see this on CC. How many Chance Me T20 universities are Asian kids?
Will Asian STEM kids (I use STEM because Rice is primarilly a STEM school and Im familar with it) forego Rice University because Texas eliminated abortion rights?
I think some but there are probably so many applicants, it wont matter.
If 40% of Rice students are Asian, how many Asian applicants do we think Rice gets every year?
Unless there are a lot of new folks who registered to vote within the last month and a huge proportion of them were Blue, your explanation doesnāt explain how two polls back prior to Dobbs came up with a toss-up in our governorās race and the one Fox poll released July 28th (give or take my memory) came up with a huge Blue lead.
Again, these schools are super close to the NJ border. Thereās no reason at all for any student to pull them from a list based upon health concerns. In TX the difference is the law allowing people to charge anyone helping someone getting an abortion and TX is a big state without a quick access NJ type of state nearby.
I never thought I would say this, but can we please talk about the impact of the overturn of Roe v Wade on college selection.
Perhaps the discussion of Rice, and in particular the subject of Asian-Americans at Rice (or any other college) or Asian-American coital data, can continue on its own thread
@skieurope asked if we can move on from Asian college students and if we would like to keep this open, since it was just opened, could we respect that. Pretty please!
Eli Lilly, which has its world headquarters in Indianapolis, just announced itās going to be expanding its workforce OUTSIDE Indiana because of this.
The analogy to students and colleges canāt be missed.
For example, many of our family/friends are ruling out places like TX, FL, and IN as places to live/work/study. Will others take their places? Sure. But itās the further fragmentation of the āUnitedā States.
Those worried about Pennsylvania: PA is not really a Republican state. It is, however, ridiculously gerrymandered, and so the Republican-majority legislature isnāt likely to changeā¦everā¦
However, the senators and governor are likely be Democratic, at least in the next go round. And the stateās Supreme Court, which is dominated by Democrats, has kept much of the craziest shenanigans in check.
PA is a typical purple state, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are heavily blue, suburbs are mixed and the rest of the state is red. For example, Delaware county right outside Philly was solidly red for 150 years and dems swept in 2019.
Iām also curious how doctors will evaluate the risk of criminal prosecution against the possibility of a wrongful death or medical malpractice lawsuit for withholding care for an ectopic pregnancy or incomplete miscarriage.
