didn’t certain hollywood celebs get prison time for cheating the college admissions process? How is affirmative action different? It’s 100% illegal according to SCOTUS.

I Made up life experiences for my application essay. Remember, it’s not what you’ve done, it’s what you CLAIM you’ve done, and how well you’ve claime it.

And most of them when admitted never finish and graduate.
It's wasting resources on people who aren't capable of learning.

Essence of affirmative action is on quality. What used to be good is now not. That’s how crazy it is

And who is going to ask them anyway? [if their sob stories are true]
There's no way to confirm the sob stories. No grades used for admissions. No standardized test scores used for admission.
"Hey, ChatGPT! Write me a sob story essay for my Harvard University application. Make it look like I'm a black student severely oppressed by racist crackers."

what's to keep applicants from just lying? Forgery statues regarding "unsworn falsifications"?

“Lying” is such a strong word. Let’s just say that applicants need to be more creative.
Look, I’m just a dumb Hunky from a mill town. But on my college application I said I was a poor Jamaican whose father had been beaten by British slaveowners.
It work, mon. 🇯🇲

When will we learn not to use the enemy’s nomenclature? “Work around” is a liberal code phrase that means “refuse to follow the law.” It sounds so cute and creative, but refusal to follow laws with which they disagree is one of the left’s most diabolical weapons

A friend of mine was looking to hire a senior STEM professional for a position. His DEI-infatuated employer was pretty much telling him he had to hire a “diversity” candidate. Out of desperation he begged me to apply for the job. When I asked him what purpose that would serve if I am a white guy, he said: “If you say you’re a black woman, they can’t do anything but take your word for it.”
That’s how silly this whole thing has become.

The best solution would be for someone to open a new university that doesn’t require any essay.
Just apply w/your stats and do a first come first serve for the semester.
You could wipe out the entire admissions department. Maybe keep one guy.

Why not make submissions generic? No name, no sex, no school association etc just a number with test scores and and schoolsstic achievements.
If accepted it would have to be based on merit. Then the number gets associated back to a name.
Not sure why anyone would go to an overpriced indoctrination center anyway.

As long as the premise of “self-identification” works to inform the progressive mind-set, anyone with a little imagination can “work around” the end of racial preferences.
