These plots of the Asian enrollment at Ivy League schools converging tightly to 15% even as the Asian fraction of the population has doubled are striking evidence that there is a very well defined quota.

Notably, Caltech has race-neutral admissions, and their Asian enrollment has tracked the increase in the general population.
EDIT: Note that the plots show total number of Asians rather than the Asian fraction of the population, which would be a more appropriate benchmark since the total population is growing. However, between 1990 and 2011 the US population grew by just shy of 25% while the Asian population more than doubled.
