发帖数: 2555 | 1 Harvard University doesn't discriminate against Asian-American applicants,
and its admissions policies pass "constitutional muster," a judge ruled in a
closely watched case that put the Ivy League university's admissions
process under scrutiny.
The lawsuit, filed by anti-affirmative action group Students for Fair
Admissions, claimed Asian-American students weren't getting a fair shake
because of Harvard's policy of seeking racial and economic diversity, among
other goals. The group claimed that, because Asian-Americans have a lower
admission rate than other racial groups at Harvard despite having higher
average SAT scores, the university was holding the group to a higher
standard than other applicants to the school. The U.S. Department of Justice
sided with the plaintiffs in the case.
But U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs ruled that Harvard's admissions
policies, while "not perfect," stand up constitutionally. Relying on
statistics to make sure that groups are evenly distributed in admissions
could "potentially run afoul of the prohibition on quotas" and hurt Harvard'
s "holistic" approach in picking its incoming freshman class, she added. | u*****m
