Elite universities report lower racial diversity but higher socioeconomic representation in the class of 2028 after the Supreme Court banned affirmative action in admissions.
However, one equal rights advocate warns that some schools may circumvent this ruling.
The June 2023 decision made the class of 2028 the first group of students since 1961 to apply to colleges without affirmative action policies.
“No government or institution of public importance should be picking winners and losers on the narrow, arbitrary basis of race,” Wenyuan Wu, director of Californians for Equal Rights, told The College Fix via email.
“If we are serious about helping those who are in need, help them on an individual basis, regardless of race. If we are sincere about improving education, focus on K-12, family culture and community building,” she stated.
Wu also said that “much work remains to be done because progressive educrats in too many elite schools are now devising new ways to circumvent the SCOTUS ruling by using race proxies with the explicit intent to racially balance the class compositions.”
The ban on affirmative action is “long overdue,” Wu said. “It is a giant step forward for championing merit and excellence while rooting out the divisive doctrine of race-based admissions in higher education.” […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
