| DEI Should Have Ended Harvard's ‘Elite' Status 60 Years Ago (Or More) |
| 2025-06-05 |
| [The Federalist] Strong evidence contradicting Harvard University’s claim of elite status was available decades before the Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard University lawsuit the Supreme Court ended in 2023. Harvard’s subjugation of merit to politics goes all the way back to at least the 1920s, when, as Justice Clarence Thomas noted in his SFFA v. Harvard concurrence, it set quotas on Jews to reduce their enrollment. Indeed, as I note in my recent book about identity politics, "the federal government had begun hiring people based on race" and demanded the same of its contractors as far back as Franklin D. Roosevelt’s presidency in the 1930s and 1940s. Under Roosevelt, the federal government pioneered the "disparate impact" doctrine today better known as diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI. The 1964 Civil Rights Act and other identity politics measures of the era were immediately interpreted by federal agencies and courts as requiring employers such as universities, even private ones, to hire and promote on the basis of sex and race. So, as I explain in False Flag, even though the Civil Rights Act explicitly bans "preferential treatment" by race or sex, it has always been used by federal agencies and courts to require the opposite. This means, as Thomas testified in the 2020 documentary Created Equal, racial discrimination in favor of minorities at so-called elite schools was already widespread when he studied law in the early 1970s. Thomas was accepted to Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania, and Yale law schools, and went to Yale.
