Using race as a college/ university entrance factor has not proven to have a substantial negative effect towards racism, racial profiling or any other social enigma. Because it has established a greater racial variety in many American colleges/ universities, we also must negate this bill to bar racial identification in public university admission for 5 main reasons: 1) Racial identification of students applying to colleges has established a greater racial variance in public colleges and universities 2) Racial identification of college applicants has not significantly led to racial hatred or prejudice in public universities 3) Many well-known colleges and universities back the use of race as a college admissions factor 4) Race is seldom the factor as to why a student may not be accepted to certain schools Firstly, Racial identification of students applying to colleges has established a greater racial variety in public colleges and universities. In a March 2003 study of racial dominance in American colleges and universities, Harvard had a minority population of about 11% compared to 1995 where they had only a 5.5% population of minorities. Since 1995, they have established a criterion for race as an admission factor.
