Matthew Harrison: so gross. (and their data tables are seem deliberately confused, in order to obscure that (by my count) the Black people in their charts fared worse than the white men, by percentage of interviews turned into offers.)

Oh, you thought the clowning stopped with the end of the SCOTUS term? www.nytimes.com/2024/07/02/u...

Lawsuit Challenges Affirmative Action in Hiring at Northwestern Law Schoolwww.nytimes.com The complaint was filed a year after the Supreme Court struck down the use of racial and gender preferences in college admissions.

You'll have to read the WaPo piece for this entirely accurate take from @paulgowder.bsky.social that this lawsuit is racist garbage. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Lawsuit: Northwestern’s law school is biased against White men in hiringwww.washingtonpost.com The lawsuit, filed by a prominent attorney, alleges the university’s law school gives hiring preference to women and people of color.
