Twitter user AF Post recently pointed out the startling statistics, stating: “Despite the Trump administration’s efforts to enforce the Supreme Court ruling against race-based school admissions, Harvard is now discriminating against White applicants instead of Asian ones. The share of White students admitted in the Classes of 2028 and 2029 fell from 47% in 2025 to 31% in 2028 and 2029, while the share of Asian students rose from 26% to 41% in 2028 and 2029. Black and Latino admissions stayed the same.” [Issues about these numbers]
The Supreme Court ruled in June 2023 in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard that race conscious admissions programs violate constitutional protections, effectively ending decades of affirmative action at colleges. The original lawsuit alleged Harvard discriminated against Asian American applicants by capping their admission numbers and assigning them lower personal ratings compared to other racial groups.
