Re: Federal Judge Rules Harvard Does Not Discriminate Against Asian-Americans
#2This ruling is a travesty and I hope the Supreme Court overturns it when this is appealed. It is very clear that race-conscious admissions are systematically racist and discriminatory. Take a look at the distribution of students by race in the University of California system, where they're not permitted to discriminate in this manner, thanks to Prop 209 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_California_Proposition_20...) - it is very different (more Asians) compared to private schools like Harvard.

#6The headline seems a bit clickbait. Obviously affirmative action discriminates against those who don't get in to make room for the favoured minority. But the court said
>Ultimately, the Court finds that Harvard has met its burden of showing that its admissions process complies with the principles articulated by the Supreme Court in Fisher II...
which is different.
