admission quotas
Acceptance number limits
Admission quotas are fixed limits on how many applicants from a particular group can be admitted to an institution.
Universities and other selective organizations have used quotas to restrict certain populations—historically to cap Jewish enrollment, later to guarantee minority representation.
The university abandoned admission quotas after the Supreme Court ruling.
The term often carries negative connotations, suggesting rigid numerical targets rather than flexible consideration of background.
