Didn’t she say that a black student has never finished in the top half of his/her class? If so, that can’t be right.

Penn has issued a statement claiming that black students do finish in the top half and have successful careers. Neither statement contradicts Wax at all but she is RACIST. You aren't a racist are you?

I thought she said that no black student had ever finished in the top half. Or did she qualify it?

She said she couldn't recall one finishing in the top quarter, and said they were rarely in the top half. She also claimed there was a diversity quota for the law review, which the school denies but I don't believe for an instant.

Ok. All of that is probably true or at least fairly impossible to disprove, conclusively.

Yup, no “mandate” at Harvard, but:

Sixteen editors shall be selected through a holistic but anonymous review that takes into account all available information. The Review remains strongly committed to a diverse and inclusive membership.

Applicants who wish to make aspects of their identity available through the Law Review's holistic consideration process will have the opportunity to indicate their racial or ethnic identity, physical disability status, gender identity, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. Applicants also have the option of submitting an expository statement of no more than 150 words that identifies and describes aspects of their background not fully captured by the categories provided on the form. Statements will be considered by the Selection Committee only after grading of the Subcite and Case Comment sections of the competition has been completed. Statements will remain anonymous and will not be evaluated for quality of writing or editing, nor will they be

Haven't there actually been studies on black and white gpas in law school? OF COURSE:

https://ianayres.yale.edu/sites/default/files/files/AyresBrooksResponse.pdf

Richard Sander’s study of affirmative action at U.S. law schools highlights a real and

serious problem: the average black law student’s grades are jaw-droppingly low. 1 With

the exception of traditionally black law schools (where blacks still make up 43.8% of the

student body), the median black law school grade point average is at the 6.7 percentile of

white law students.

2

This means that only 6.7% of whites have lower grades than 50% of

blacks. One finds similar result if look at the other end of the distribution – only 7.5% of

blacks have grades that are higher than the white median.

This point has been observed previously by a number of scholars. See e.g., Gita Wilder, The Road to Law

School and Beyond: Examining Challenges to Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Legal Profession (LSAC

Research Report, 02-01 (August 2003), especially pages 21-26; Timothy Clydesdale, A Forked River

Runs Through the Law School, October 2004 issue of Law and Social Inquiry; David Chambers, Get Title,

52 Buffalo L. Rev. 569-576 (March 2004).

>> Ruger said Wax violated school policy by mentioning student grades to back up her argument. <<

And there it is.
