Abstract:

While quotas and other forms of discrimination against Jews in college admissions have been decreasing over the past few years, the author warns that this trend will not necessarily continue in the same direction indefinitely. Upcoming population growth in the college-aged demographic will put pressure on colleges to change admissions standards, the author predicts. The reintroduction of discrimination against Jews at certain colleges is, according to the author, inevitable.
