Blue State College Allegedly Using Explicit Racial Quotas In Admissions

Young America’s Foundation (YAF) on Thursday filed a civil rights complaint against Gettysburg College over its allegedly illegal admissions policy.

Gettysburg’s senior assistant director of admissions presented a plan at a student senate meeting on March 31 detailing the school’s policy to admit “20% domestic students of color,” according to a presentation obtained by YAF and first shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. The college also aimed to admit 15% international students for its Fall 2025 incoming class.

“YAF respectfully requests that you investigate Gettysburg College’s admission policies and practices to ensure ‘the doctrine of equality,’ not ‘race consciousness,’ is in place and properly enforced, consistent with prevailing law,” YAF’s complaint filed with the Department of Education’s (ED’s) Philadelphia office reads.

After the Supreme Court ruled in 2023 that race could not be used as a factor for admission, Gettysburg President Bob Iuliano, in a campus-wide email, apparently described the decision by saying “the Supreme Court has profoundly undercut the ability of colleges and universities to educate today’s students most effectively,” according to YAF’s complaint.
