I absolutely agree that elite (and some not so) institutions will game the system to continue to admit lesser qualified applicants for whatever reason they can "gin up" to get by the recent SCOTUS ruling. I think that one metric that should be noisily raised is the four-year graduation rate of students admitted under "special circumstances" compared to both the graduation rate of all the other students and to the acceptance rate for those students four years earlier. I suspect that those metrics will not support the narrative and would result in a whole conga line of excuses.
