Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard University
Students for Fair Admissions, a nonprofit, membership organization whose members include highly qualified students recently denied admission to schools including Harvard University, highly qualified students who plan to apply to schools such as Harvard University, and their parents. The lawsuit alleges the university is engaging in a campaign of invidious discrimination by strictly limiting the number of Asian Americans it will admit each year and by engaging in racial balancing year after year. These discriminatory policies in college admissions are expressly forbidden by the Fourteenth Amendment and federal civil rights laws.
