New York (AFP) - A nonprofit group filed a lawsuit Monday against Harvard
University, accusing the world-famous Ivy League institution of racial
profiling in its admissions policies.
Students for Fair Admissions says Harvard limits the number of Asian
Americans it admits while giving preference to other races, according to the
Project on Fair Representation (PFR), a legal defense fund supporting the
lawsuit.
"The university is engaging in a campaign of invidious discrimination," PFR
said in a statement.
"White, African American and Hispanic applicants are given racial
preferences over better qualified Asian Americans," it added, accusing
Harvard of breaching civil rights laws and undermining the Fourteenth
Amendment to the US constitution.
Plaintiff the SFFA alleges that Harvard and the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill violated the Supreme Court's 2013 ruling on "strict scrutiny
" standards which says admissions should be conducted on "race-neutral"
grounds to end "race-based affirmative action policies," according to the
PFR statement.
The director of PFR vowed further action on race-based admissions policies
at other universities in the United States.
"These two lawsuits are the first of what are expected to be several similar
challenges to other competitive colleges that continue to
unconstitutionally use racial preferences in admission decisions," said
Edward Blum.
SFFA said its members include "highly qualified" students that have been
rejected from Harvard and Chapel Hill, and their parents.
