Updated at 4:20 p.m. ET.
A judge has ruled in favor of Harvard University in a high–profile court case centered on Harvard's consideration of race in admissions.
Federal District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs issued her decision Tuesday, saying, "Harvard's admission program passes constitutional muster," and that "ensuring diversity at Harvard relies, in part, on race conscious admissions."
The plaintiff, advocacy group Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA), accused Harvard of discriminating against Asian-American applicants. It argued the school considers race too much, forcing Asian-Americans to meet a higher bar to get in.
In a statement, SFFA President Edward Blum said, "Students for Fair Admissions is disappointed that the court has upheld Harvard's discriminatory admissions policies." He also said, "SFFA will appeal this decision to the First Court of Appeals and, if necessary, to the U.S Supreme Court."
Supporters of affirmative action fear that if this case makes it to the nation's highest court, race-conscious admissions could be eliminated.作者: icc 时间: 2019-10-1 21:45
