Richard Kahlenberg, who testified as an expert witness for the plaintiffs who challenged Harvard’s race-conscious admissions policies, said he was disappointed by the decline in Black and Hispanic undergrads.

“They are not doing as much as they could,” said Kahlenberg, a researcher for the Progressive Policy Institute think tank, which he described as center-left.
