I so hope this is struck down.

""Americans have come to view diversity as integral to learning and to trust that the path to leadership is open to all," lawyers representing Harvard University wrote in a court filing."

This is not true, and the Asians who were denied entry based on their race would agree.

What ever happened to access based on merit?

Quoted post unavailable.

Do you think it is ? As-in, is it the right (legal) decision in your view?

From the article: ""Americans have come to view diversity as integral to learning and to trust that the path to leadership is open to all," lawyers representing Harvard University wrote in a court filing."

Do you see the "open to all" statement? Is this true?

What about the Asians who were denied entry based on their race? Is this "open to all"?

What happened to it refers to a concept called the meritocracy trap.
