End racial preferences now

As new figures from the Census tell us, the United States is becoming an increasingly racially and ethnically diverse nation — with a population that doesn’t fit neatly into the racial boxes constructed for “diversity” purposes. So why is it that some universities and other institutions continue to use the old paradigm of granting preferences to members of groups that are deemed “underrepresented”?

The Center for Equal Opportunity, which I founded in 1995, has been documenting the use of racial and ethnic preferences in college and professional school admissions for more than a dozen years. Sad to say, too little has changed in this period.
