No, I am asking what you would do if the people discriminated against built their own power structures (out of necessity) that, due to merit, was disproportionately made up of members of their community AND produced superior results for their graduates.
Right now many people are basically ranting that Asians are performing too well, leading them to succeed well above other $GROUP.
What do you think those people will say if the discriminated group sets up structures that further reinforce their success in succeeding generations?
Segregation resulting from discriminating against a particular minority to the level that they go ahead and establish their own structures can backfire immensely.
I've seen this (and currently living it firsthand) happen, to the point that the minority group is around 1.5% of the population but holds around 10% of executive and corporate positions[1].
And of course, the 90% majority is baying for blood...

Segregation is never a reason to celebrate.
[1] Last I checked, anyway, which was about a decade ago.
"Congratulations on achieving the American Dream."
The NAACP already exists. What you're describing as a nightmare scenario is basically the way this has been done historically in America. It's part of the "rugged individualism" mythology that a group that feels marginalized organizes to take care of itself.
If, today, Harvard is keeping Asians out, it means more smart, eager Asian students to be recruited by other universities, which just might rise in status for admitting those students.
You're asking what people would do if those who couldn't get into university address the issue by building a new university, thereby increasing supply?
"Celebrate," I'd assume.
