Racial breakdown of the general population is irrelevant, you look at the qualified applicant pool. 

Expand  

The applicant pool of finance professors is about 60% asian, 30% Indian, 10% Caucasian, and 0% black.  And about 95% male.

Also, $100K will buy you about half a finance professor at A&M.  Probably less.

You think a higher percent of White and Asian doctoral students want to go into academics as opposed to other minorities? Or is the lack of opportunity leading to that result? 

Expand  

No idea.  But first of all, I would not go by doctoral students. I would go by graduates who earned their doctorates.  You do that alone, and the racial numbers change significantly.

Blacks earning doctorates has increased recently, but it is still around 7% of newly issued doctorates.  Factor in faculty is not just made up of new doctorates but a lot of older professors from decades when Blacks were not earning degrees at a lower rate, and that is where you want to start.

That's what these lawsuits are trying to remedy.  Good thing Congress had the wisdom to prohibit employment discrimination.  The color of your skin or gender should not be a factor in employment decisions, according to the rule of law.

I have handled a 100s employment discrimination matters.  These are some of the best I have ever seen as there is often direct evidence of discrimination.  You may not like them, but the ones I have seen -- I have no idea about this case -- are strong.

I mean, how does it make sense that someone with a cushy McCombs job would apply to A&M? And if he wasn't picked, why does he assume it was because he's white?

Maybe it paid more?  People change jobs for all sorts of reasons.  There are also civil rights issues since A&M is a state actor.

Here is the Complaint:

https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/lowery-texas-am-complaint-usdc-houston.pdf

This has a 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss written all over it.

There is nothing in the Complaint about class allegations. Those have to be plead specifically.

Unless they dramatically change the pleadings, this has sanctions written all over it.

You should also oppose discrimination.  It’s evil.  
 

It used to be socially acceptable by some segment of society to discriminate against Blacks. 

It is now socially acceptable by some segment to discriminate against Whites.  
 

In both cases, it was/is Democrats.

People seem to forget that affirmative action is only required because of how much indirection and deception the southern states were using to exclude non-Whites from integrating and fully enjoying the same rights and privileges that White people historically had. "Remedial" I think is the word, and it's the same reason why reparations are a necessary step towards fulfilling the promise of equality.

If A&M's policy is remedial, why would it be illegal?

Of course only 2.8% of A&M students are Black so perhaps that is a goal for the faculty to represent. The current status puts A&M ahead of the game. Congrats (sarcasm.)


What percentage of those students are athletes? 80%? Those are stats Sul Ross would be proud of.

FIFY.

It's acceptable that Blacks are underrepresented because the older white guys were hired when we all admit there was discrimination?

In another 50 years, maybe the numbers will start to even out. Why would anyone be upset with that pace of progress?
