How do individualists view racial underrepresentation in college admissions?

Individualists acknowledge that a private college has the right to set its admission standards as it sees fit. If they consider the standards irrational (for example, truly racist), and if the cause is important to them, they may individually or as an ad hoc group with shared values advocate for change. They may try to persuade their fellow men and women to join the cause and, using the court of public opinion, put pressure on the college and on its donors and alumni to change the standards. But individualists don’t resort to asking the government to step in, because that would violate the rights of the college to determine its admission standards, however irrational they may be.
