Up until the end of World War II, to protect the integrity of their institutions Ivy League schools placed quotas limiting the number of Jews they admitted, but the existence of a quota at Stanford University in Northern California was never more than a rumor — at least not until the publication of a blog post written by a researcher last year:
Now Stanford has appointed a task force to investigate the existence of a quota for Jews at the school during the 1950s. The task force will be led by Ari Kelman, a professor of education and Jewish studies. The group, which will begin its work this month, was tasked with researching the existence of quotas and recommending ways to “to enhance Jewish life on campus, including how best to address any findings resulting from the research on admissions practices.”
