Are you puzzled why AsAms are only 58%
Against "race preference college admissions?
80-20 is not puzzled, because many AsAms may say to themselves, "We already have such a large % of students in the best colleges. Let's be noble and let students of other minorities have a better chance to enter such colleges?"
Indeed, 80-20 considered taking such a position many years ago. Then our usually thorough research led us to discover the phenomenon of "Academic Mismatch". It points to the negative effects that "race preference admissions" creates for students admitted into a college that is too difficult for them. They include:
1) lower graduation rate and STEM majors switching to non-STEM disciplines;
2) Less career success when compared with students of comparable ability
who enter colleges of their own ability level.
Much research was done on "mismatch". Some were confirming. Others did not. Given the uncertainty, 80-20's Board unanimously concluded that there was no sense sacrificing the equal educational opportunity of our own children to accept a controversial admissions policy that may even hurt the children of other minorities.

Help Win the Looming Supreme Court Battle!
his legal team may WIN THE SUPREME COURT CASE for us. He asked 80-20 to send the following message to YOU.
" if you know of any students who were recently rejected from Harvard, Yale, the University of Texas, or the University of North Carolina, please have them go to our website and share their story with us. Our website is: https://studentsforfairadmissions.org/
Our litigation against these universities is ongoing, and member support is very important to our success! .....
The next significant event in this lawsuit will likely occur around May 17thwhen Harvard files its brief in opposition to our petition. After SFFA files our reply, the Supreme Court will decide whether to hear our case. I hope to bring you good news soon!"
80-20 most strongly urges you to help. Mr. Blum has spent years of his life and raised many millions of dollars to finance OUR LAWSUIT against Harvard to protect OUR CHILDREN. HELP SFFA back for our own sake.
