harvard students receive subsidies to rally at supreme court in favor of racial preferences

On Monday, October 31, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in the two cases brought by Students for Fair Admissions that challenge the race-based college admissions policies of the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill) and Harvard. Before the arguments, both sides in this controversy will hold rallies at the Supreme Court.  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Before the arguments, both sides in this controversy will hold rallies at the Supreme Court. The Asian American Coalition for Education will hold a rally in support of Students for Fair Admissions on Sunday, the day before the hearings. Students and parents are expected to deliver remarks. The rally will occur at the sidewalk in front of the Supreme Court. Speeches are scheduled to begin at 1:30 pm. The next day — the day of the arguments — supporters of race-based preferences will hold their rally, sponsored by the Harvard Affirmative Action Coalition. Ninety Harvard students are planning to come to Washington to participate. They will be subsidized. Harvard's Undergraduate Association voted to allocate $2,700 to pay for the meals of the 90 students. What about transportation and lodging? Don't worry, it is already covered, courtesy of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. It would have been nice if someone had subsidized my trips from New Hampshire to D.C. to protest the Vietnam War. Somehow, we made do on our own. Will anyone subsidize the students from the Asian American Coalition for Education who participate in the anti-quota rally? No, says Edward Blum the prime mover in the lawsuits against Harvard and UNC. We shouldn't be surprised. The pro-racial preferences forces always have the upper hand when it comes to funding. In 2020, California voted on Proposition 16 — a measure that would have repealed the state's ban on government institutions considering race, sex, or ethnicity in public employment, public contracting, and public education. The repeal forces massively outspent their opponents. According to this report by California's Secretary of State, the supporters of Prop 16 (repealing the ban on racial preferences) received just under $20 million in funding. The opposition raised just under $1.8 million. How did the election go? Prop 16 was defeated by a margin of more than 14 points. Chances are that Harvard will lose in the Supreme Court, although the outcome is far from certain. Either way, a good time will be had by the 90 Harvard students — on Harvard's dime, or rather the dimes of parents of Harvard students. Harvard parents must pay a $200 fee earmarked for the Undergraduate Association. By the way, today's Washington Post ran this profile of Edward Blum. The article quotes Blum's critics liberally, but acknowledges his "extraordinary track record." Victory in the Harvard and UNC cases would make that track record all the more extraordinary.
