Americans for Merit-Based Admissions
Wall Street Journal | Editorial Board
A March 2022 Pew Center Research poll shows Americans want decisions in college admissions and hiring based on merit, not race. Results come before SCOTUS is set to hear SFFA v. Harvard in its fall term.
“The survey, conducted in March, asked more than 10,000 respondents what factors should matter for college admissions. In a landslide, respondents favored academic achievement over race and gender… Nearly three of four said race or ethnicity should not be a factor in admissions. That includes 59% of blacks, 68% of Hispanics, 63% of Asians and 62% of Democrats…”
“The Pew poll underscores that the gentry left’s preoccupation with dividing America by race is unpopular. Americans want equality of opportunity, not government-imposed ‘equity’ of results.”
