No he didn't but don't let that stop you from lying.

In a best-selling book published this fall, "The Chosen: The Hidden
History of Admission and Exclusion at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton,"
sociologist Jerome Karabel documented in shocking detail how the
nation's elite universities used their admissions policies to help
maintain a male WASP aristocracy through most of the 20th century.
Eventually even the most selective colleges opened their doors to
women and minorities.

. . .[L]ast month, we learned that in the 1980s, Supreme Court nominee
Samuel A. Alito Jr. belonged to a group created to thwart the reforms
that provided equal access to Princeton University, from which he
graduated in 1972 with the last all-male class.

. . . Alito [has] tried to sidestep the issue by claiming that he has
"no recollection" of belonging to the group. That's simply not
credible. He certainly knew he was a member in 1985, when at the age
of 35 he highlighted his membership in the group in order to establish
his far- right bona fides in an application for a promotion in the
Reagan Justice Department.

. . .[W]hy was Alito a member of an organization that ran counter to
the 1964 Civil Rights Act and Title IX of the 1972 Education
Amendments, federal laws ensuring equal access to education for women
and minorities? How can we be sure that he will view women and
minorities as deserving full equality under the law when he once
sought to exclude them from his alma mater?

[CAP sought] "a more traditional undergraduate population," warn[ing]
that "a student population of approximately 40 percent women and
minorities will largely vitiate the alumni body of the future." The
group supported a permanent quota that would keep the female student
population at only 1,000 out of a total of 4,400. Without irony, CAP
simultaneously supported "affirmative action" for athletes and
children of alumni.

. . . In 1984 Prospect [CAP's publication] noted that a female coal
miner who had won her job through a discrimination suit had died in a
mining accident. The item concluded, "Sally Frank, take note." Frank
was a former student who successfully sued to open the doors of
all-male eating clubs at the university to women.

Samuel Alito touted his membership in CAP at the same time Prospect
was pushing these destructive messages. This fact should trouble all
who cherish the right to equality before the law. Alito needs to be
forthcoming about his involvement in CAP, and the Senate must
carefully examine this record. Otherwise, Americans won't have the
information they need to judge for themselves whether Alito would
uphold the rights of all.

There is no reason for Alita to apologize for his CAP membership. CAP
did not oppose the entry of minorities and women into Princeton,
