While Ivy League schools have made their mark around the rallying cry of diversity, their own enrollment reflects a lack of diversity. In short, students at schools like Harvard are far more likely to be Jewish or Asian than to be Southern Baptists, conservative evangelical Christians or Italian-Americans. Right now at Harvard, America's most elite school, an estimated 20 percent of undergraduate students are Jewish, and almost the same percentage is Asian. Although Jews and Asians together account for only 5 percent of the United States population, they make up nearly 40 percent of Harvard's enrollment. That's about the same percentage of Harvard students who are non-Jewish whites, a group that makes up more than 70 percent of the U.S. population. Christian whites are far more under-represented at Harvard, relative to their numbers in the general population, than even blacks and Hispanics. In rough terms, the combined Jewish and Asian representation in Dartmouth's student body is about 18 percent; at Princeton, about 25 percent; at Duke, Cornell and Brown, somewhere in the 30 percent range; at Yale, about 45 percent; and at Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania, about half. In each case, non-Jewish whites are equally under-represented at the other end of the spectrum.
These figures are on the low side. Yale Law for instance is 65% Jews.
