By Ben Hayes| Cherwell Verified Affirmative action in America is gone, but the change in data so far doesn’t show clear racial balancing. Unlike Oxford, the American admissions system requires personal essays, extracurricular activities, and a range of demographic qualifiers. College progressives may be offsetting explicit racial quotas with a new emphasis on these categories.

By Ben Hayes| Cherwell Verified Steven Pifer greets me at the door with a limp. He’d broken his kneecap en route to Kyiv three weeks ago, and scrambling for hotel bomb shelters in the wee hours of the morning hadn’t done his injury any favours. “The nice thing about this,” he jokes about his injury, “is I got dispensation to use the elevator.” Pifer was the American ambassador to Ukraine from 1998 to 2000. His house reflects it.
