note:
Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
You
have
to
certainly
expect
there’s
going
to
be
a
significant
reduction
of
Black
students
in
our
selective
higher
education
institutions,
and
especially
our
elite
ones,
like
Yale
Law
School.
And
that
is
a
tragedy.
—
Professor
Kevin
Brown
of
Indiana
University
Bloomington’s
Maurer
School
of
Law,
a
Yale
Law
alumnus,
in
comments
given
to
the
Yale
Daily
News,
on
the
decrease
in
racial
diversity
for
the
school’s
Class
of
2027,
the
first
class
admitted
without
affirmative
action,
down
to
50%
compared
with
57%
for
the
Class
of
2026.
