There is no reason to factor race, or even to know about it, in college applications.

Of course they will. Just like the discriminatory voter supression laws factor in race without ever mentioning race, under the "race-neutral" doctrine https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/06/supreme-co...

In the 1940s and 50s we used to build more great universities

Why can’t we do that now?
