Yale and Harvard Admissions - A Deep Dive

Yale and Harvard Admissions - A Deep Dive

This fall, the Supreme Court will consider whether to break with its own precedent and end the practice of affirmative action in higher education. The scale, scope, and detail of the data disclosed during the relevant cases has allowed an unprecedented look into the admissions practices at Harvard and Yale, regarding not just the roles of race and socio-economic status, but also including factors such as academic performance, athletics, legacy status, and donations. Analyses of these data reveal a reality far more nuanced than the headlines and often very different from most people’s expectations.

Please join us as we discuss these topics in two separate sessions: the first will establish a common understanding of the data, with our conversations guided towards the impact of legacy status and donations on the probabilities of admission; the second session will, using similar data-driven methods, turn to the analyses of the impact of race and socio-economic status.

Our goal is to focus on and follow the disclosed data, using factual analysis to deepen out understanding of how the admissions process has been working, and better understand the considerations of the Supreme Court. We ask that everyone consider attendance of the first session to be prerequisite for attending the second session.

Reckoning With History:  Why Our Past is Political

6:00 PM18:00

Reckoning With History: Why Our Past is Political

In coordination with the Harvard Club of Dallas

American history has always been in the crosshairs of the so-called “culture wars.” From the many myths of the nation’s “founding” to the contested “causes” of the Civil War to contemporary conflicts over critical race theory, The 1619 Project, and teaching LGBTQ history, the past is political precisely because it is always present. In this wide-ranging and provocative lecture, Professor McCarthy will make a forceful case for why—and how—the politics of history is both a vital tradition and a moral obligation in the United States.

Harvard Professor Timothy Patrick McCarthy will be our honored speaker for this annual event.  His presentation promises to be engaging and informative.  
 

Date:  May 9, 2022
Time:   6:00 pm
Location:  Arts District Mansion, 2100 Ross Avenue, Dallas, TX 75201

Parking: The entrance to the Parking Garage at the Arts District Mansion is located off Olive Street

11:30 AM11:30

Global Risk Series: The Collision of Climate Change, Energy Security, and Economic Prosperity

In partnership with the Dallas Committee on Foreign Relations

Russia’s attack on Ukraine is straining global energy supplies and has forced Europe to re-evaluate its dependence on Russian fuel sources. To offset this, the Biden administration seeks to increase the global oil supply from other sources, including the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve. What energy security risks do the US and our allies face as we consider the options? How do these risks impact the global economy in the short and long term? More broadly, what are the current analyses of climate change and its potential impact? Join us for a vital conversation about the opportunities and challenges of climate change and energy security.

The panel includes:

Victoria Coates
Distinguished Fellow in Strategic Studies, American Foreign Policy Council

Gabe Collins
Baker Botts Fellow in Energy & Environmental Regulatory Affairs, Baker Institute

Meredith Walker
Principal and Global Economist, MMW Research

David Emmons
Partner, Baker Botts LLP
