No one knew what would happen after the Supreme Court took away affirmative action from higher ed’s diversity tool kit, essentially making admissions as color blind as it can be.
But now that the first Harvard class has been admitted since the SCOTUS decision, we are in a strange place that should have been expected.
No one knows exactly where we stand on the most important matters of racial equity. That’s what happens when you buy into the colorblind fantasy. Instead of fairness, we have diversity as a great accident, if it can be achieved at all.

Data is not publicly reported by the school. It’s not in a document that can be discoverable in court, or that would make a school liable of violating the law.
It’s just not mentioned or reported anywhere officially by Harvard.
This is what the colorblind wanted, of course. To take away equity paths for people of color and leave us all in the dark.
The numbers released last week merely say that 1,245 applicants gained admission on last Thursday to next fall’s freshman class. Add the 692 early admissions from December and the grand total is 1,937 members of new class. That’s out of 54, 008 applicants which puts Harvard at a 3.6 percent admission rate.
