I don't care about college admissions affirmative action. It's a problem that only affects the super rich and the super smart.
I could easily get into any college I could afford and could never get into Harvard regardless of any test scores since my dad can't get me a letter from a Congressman.
But it's still different rules for different people. It's still wrong. Anytime you tell group "A" they can't POSSIBLY compete with group "B" because they're is too stupid to test as high as group "B", you're part of the problem not the solution.

Higher education and education in general in America are suffering from problems that are a whole lot larger than whether Timmy from Fox Run (SAT: 1600, LaCrosse recruit, legacy admit) or Ja’von from Compton (SAT: 1590, Track & Field star, no family connection) get to claim a coveted spot at Harvard.

The whole debate is, in the end, zero-sum and depressing. For some reason, the fact that the rejected candidate will simply go to some other Ivy League-caliber school and do just fine in life doesn’t seem to register.

But instead of arguing over how to divide the pie, why don’t we make a bigger pie?

Here’s a modest proposal. Pass a bill to confiscate half of Harvard’s endowment (an eye-watering $53 billion) and use it to build a new Harvard in… I don’t know, Kansas City?

That was basically Cornelius Vanderbilt’s idea, when he gave $1 million to establish the university in Nashville that bears his name. One of the only philanthropic gifts of his life. As ruthless and cutthroat as he was, he recognized the value of education, and the value of placing a top-tier university in the South to promote national integration.

A second Harvard?
Nah. Then we'd just be arguing over whether Ja'Von had his civil rights violated when he ended up in Poor Harvard instead of Rich Harvard.
As long as we tell certain groups they can never compete with other groups and need government quotas to make it in life we're just exacerbating the problem.
