Law Review

Racism is alive and well:

The journal claimed the Free Beacon had quoted "selectively" from "five internal memos going back more than three years," adding that the Harvard Law Review "considers several thousand submissions annually." "The Review does not consider race, ethnicity, gender, or any other protected characteristic as a basis for recommending or selecting a piece for publication," the journal wrote in a fact sheet published on May 27. But according to new documents obtained by the Free Beacon, the law review eliminates more than 85 percent of submissions using a rubric that asks about "author diversity." And 40 percent of journal editors have cited protected characteristics when lobbying for or against articles—at one point killing a piece by an Asian-American scholar, Alex Zhang, after an editor complained in a meeting that "we have too many Yale JDs and not enough Black and Latino/Latina authors."

Seems like they took the hint...
