Contrary to popular opinion, the most important criteria for admission to the Ivy League is not grades, nor SAT scores, nor recommendations, or even essays. The most important criteria is actually race/religion. By claiming to be Jewish, an applicant can increase his chances of admission by up to 15 fold.
While Jewish students comprise only 2% of the American population, they account for 12-15% of the student bodies at Dartmouth, Princeton, and Cornell. And more than 25% of the student bodies of Brown, Columbia and Yale; shockingly, more than 30% of the students at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard, are Jewish. The Ivy League, the breeding ground of future leaders, has between 6-15 times Jewish over-representation. Most other top American schools have similar Jewish over-representation as well.
Theoretically, these lopsided admissions statistics could be explained by a number of factors other than racial/religious discrimination in admissions, such as: A higher value for education among Jewish families, or even superior intellect and abilities. Setting aside the fact that these same elite universities claim that there are no differences in racial intelligence, if one were to accept the research of racial intelligence academics such as Richard Lynn and account for supposed differences in racial intelligence, the ratio of non-Jewish whites to Jews is still astronomically lower than it should be. Accounting for the supposed superior Jewish intelligence, non-Jewish white students should have representation of around 7 to 1 to Jewish students, rather than the current ratio of 2:1 and in some cases 1:1. When sheer ability and qualifications are factored in, Jews are still 1,000% overrepresented. In fact, when it was discovered that Princeton was not favoring Jews in admissions to the extreme that other Ivy League universities were, four front page articles were written in the Daily Princetonian as well as a New York Times article to address the “problem”. In one article, a rabbi leading the campaign to ensure maximum Jewish over representation was quoted as saying she, “would love to see 20%” Jewish students, which would be a ten times over-representation to their percentage of the population.
If the over-representation of Jewish students in the Ivy League has little to do with credentials or intelligence, how can we explain the racial disparity? It just so happens that most of the top administrators in the Ivy League are Jewish, and this is likely impacting the admissions process. The following list of names was constructed about two years ago, so some of the administrators may have retired or moved to other roles, but it is unlikely that the overall statistics have changed much. On a side note, these statistics are similar at most top schools in America.
Brown’s Chancelor, Thomas Tisch and Provost, David Kertzer are Jewish.
Lee Bollinger, President of Columbia, is Jewish.
The President of Cornell, David Skorton and the Provost Kent Fuchs are Jewish.
Chairmen of the Board of Trustees of Dartmouth, Stephen Madel Jr. is Jewish. And so is the Provost, Carol Folt.
The President of Harvard: Drew Faust is married to a Jew: Charles Rosenberg.
The provost of Harvard, Steven Hymen, is Jewish.
The President of Princeton Shirley Tilghman is married to a Jew named Jospeh Tilghman.
Chairmen of the Board of Princeton Stephen Oxman is Jewish and so is the Provost Christopher Eisgruber.
The President of UPenn, Amy Gutmann, is Jewish and Vincent Price, the provost, is also Jewish.
The Chairmen of the Board of UPenn David Cohen is Jewish.
Yale President Richard Levin is Jewish and so is the Provost Peter Salovey.
About 80% of the senior officials in the Ivy League are Jewish or married to Jews; And these Jewish administrators are accepting Jewish students at a ridiculously overrepresented rate, while simultaneously claiming to push diversity on campus. How can there be diversity when a minority group that represents 2% of the population is taking between 12-35% of the places?
Conclusion
When applying to the Ivy League, either claim to be Jewish or married to a Jewish person, or strongly infer that you are Jewish or contemplating converting to Judaism.
Yesterday I wrote to University of Pennsylvania President Amy Gutmann, asking her to condemn a vile and inflammatory attack by Professor Ruben Gur on the University’s own students.
Gur likened those participating in this weekend’s conference on boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) (at which I will speak) to Nazis, and Omar Barghouti to Hitler.
The unchecked inflammatory rhetoric by opponents of the conference, especially Professor Gur, is making students and conference participants feel unsafe.
Most disturbingly, Gur singled out Jewish students and speakers, calling them “capos” at Nazi extermination camps. “Capo” or “kapo” is the term for a concentration or death camp inmate who collaborated with the Nazis.
It would seem that Gutmann has no problem with such anti-Semitic attacks as long as the Jews being singled out in this despicable manner are deemed to be supporters of equal rights for Palestinians.
And Gutmann has failed to speak out even as pro-Israel groups are bringing a violence and torture advocate to campus to counter the BDS conference.
Failing to stand up to violent rhetoric
While I’ve had no response to my letter – 24 hours after sending it and confirming it was received by telephone – Gutmann wrote a public letter in the campus newspaper The Daily Pennsylvanian reiterating her opposition to BDS and adding this weak sauce:
Since its founding more than 270 years ago, Penn has stood for the free exchange of ideas. That concept is central to our mission, and is one that cannot be compromised if we are to uphold our standing as a great university.
Amid the passion that many feel around this weekend’s events, we urge you to focus on the one thing we cannot afford to lose: the great tradition and enduring gift of Penn’s founders – the chance to speak our minds freely.
These banalaties are an inadequate response to one of Penn’s faculty members denouncing Jewish students as “capos” and Nazis just because he disagrees with them.
We read with some shock the opinion piece you published yesterday by Penn Professor Ruben Gur. With no evidence whatsoever, and in direct contradiction to everything we’ve ever said or written, Gur designates our student group “genocidal” and equates our upcoming conference with Nazi anti-Semitism. He labels our Jewish participants and organizers “Capos” and (in the same breath that he scolds us for describing Alan Dershowitz as an “Israel apologist”) compares Palestinian human-rights activist Omar Barghouti with Adolf Hitler.
Gutmann too should condemn Gur’s inciteful hate speech in clear terms. Instead, on that point, she has so far chosen silence.
Perhaps people should email or call President Gutmann (215-898-7221) to make sure she gets the message that she needs to stand up for her students against vile and discriminatory rhetoric from professors, and ensure the campus is safe for them to exercise their rights.
And yet President Gutmann and the University of Pennsylvania administration seem to take a surprisingly lax view.
A question that should perhaps be investigated is whether Gutmann’s failure to protect students – especially Jewish students – against the kind of intimidation and hate speech by Professor Gur amounts to a violation of their civil rights under Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Singling out Jews
Professor Gur is not the only one attacking the BDS conference and singling out Jews for special opprobrium. In The Jewish Exponent, Bryan Schwartzman writes:
More than a third of the listed speakers are Jewish, including Rebecca Vilkomerson, executive director of Jewish Voice for Peace.
This ominous sentence – where Schwartzman ‘counts the Jews’ – echoes Gur’s singling out of Jews as “capos.”
Bringing a violence advocate to campus
Not only is the University of Pennsylvania failing to stand up for its students rights, but increasing the heated atmosphere by bringing a notorious advocate of violence and torture onto campus to speak against the BDS conference. His name is Alan Dershowitz.
To counter the Penn BDS event, local pro-Israel groups including Hillel and the Philadelphia Jewish Federation have summoned the famed trial lawyer and Harvard University professor of law Alan Dershowitz to campus to keynote a Feb. 2 event: “Why Israel Matters to You, Me, and Penn: A conversation with Alan Dershowitz.” Penn’s Political Science department – which has pointedly refused to co-sponsor the BDS conference – will co-host Dershowitz’s lecture, where the professor has vowed to explain why he considers BDS to be one of the most “immoral, illegal and despicable concepts around academia today.”
The support Dershowitz received from the university and from pro-Israel groups that claim to abhor violence is ironic in light of Dershowitz’s record. Indeed, Dershowitz is an open advocate of torture who has urged Israel to destroy entire Palestinian villages, attack civilians and bulldoze their homes.
It’s really past time for the University of Pennyslvania to show some responsibility, stop pandering to the political agendas of outside groups, and stand up for the safety and rights of its own students.

The Zionist Israeli state calls on the Old Testament/Torah as a historical document to prove its legality to “re-claim” Palestine; their god’s promised land. To assert this legality and the myth of the promised land Zionist Organization, since its establishment, had recruited the science of archaeology, employing western Christian biblical archaeologists, to provide the required “historic” proof of the right of the Jews; alleged modern Israelites, to Palestine. This became very critical after Julius Wellhausen; the biblical scholar and Professor Ordinarius of Theology and head of the German School of Biblical Criticism, published his 1883 book “Geschichte Israels”, later titled as “Prolegomena zur Geschichte Israels” claiming that the Old Testament/Torah stories were invented during the Babylonian exile to serve certain theological and political purposes.
American biblical scholars and archaeologists, such as William Fox Albright, were recruited to refute Wellhausen’s claims. Albright was endorsed by covertly Zionist financed Biblical Colloquium; a scholarly society devoted to the analysis and discussions of biblical matters, and the preparations, publication, and distribution of biblical literature to brainwash readers and students with a specific theological ideology. Albright, as well as other biblical archaeologists like him, was also honored (bribed) by the American Friends of the Israel Exploration Society. His writings; such as “Why the Near East Needs the Jews”, are flagrant racist Zionist propaganda ignoring the vast archaeological history of the indigenous Palestinians while emphasizing the fake unproven Israelites’ narrative in Palestine. … continue
