The Chosen: The Hidden History of Admission and Exclusion at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton

Professor Jerome Karabel, a sociologist from the University of California, Berkeley and author of the award-winning book The Chosen: The Hidden History of Admission and Exclusion at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, will give a lecture, followed by a discussion, on the history of elite college admissions in the United States, the role of anti-Jewish prejudice in the development of admissions practices, the origins of race-based affirmative action, and the relevance of this history to the current case against Harvard and allegations of discrimination against Asian-Americans in college admissions.
