US Court of Appeals Supports Harvard’s “Balanced Race” Admission Policy Opponents Will Appeal to Supreme CourtFly to the homes of common people
Reference News Network reported on November 14According to a Reuters report in Boston, USA, on November 12, a US Court of Appeals announced Thursday that it supported Harvard University’s approach to considering racial factors in undergraduate enrollment and rejected the challenge posed by opponents of affirmative action. These opponents say that the admissions policy of this Ivy League school discriminates against Asian Americans.
The United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Boston made this decision. Opponents said they would appeal to the Supreme Court. Legal experts believe conservatives have a 6-3 lead on the Supreme Court and can use this case to end the practice of considering racial factors in higher education enrollment for more than 40 years.
According to the report, the Boston Court of Appeals rejected the “Student Support Fair Admissions” (SFFA) request. This non-profit organization was founded by Edward Bloom, an activist against the affirmative act, and has the support of the United States government led by Republican President Donald Trump.
SFFA said that Harvard University’s “racial balance” policy that is not allowed has made it easier for African American and Hispanic students to qualify for admission, and that racial factors are being used unscrupulously.
The organization stated that this violated the content under “Title 6” of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (in any federally funded project or activity, no one can be affected by factors such as race, color or country of origin. right to participate in activities or enjoy the benefits due, and should not be discriminated in any other way -this note), and the school must comply with these contents in order to obtain federal funding.
The report noted that, however, US Circuit Judge Sandra Lynch said that the use of Harvard University’s “racial balance” policy is not “to the extent that it is not allowed” but “significant” because avoid diversity. 化 is weakened.
She said, “Harvard University’s race-related admissions program ensures that you can continue to benefit from diversity.”
The report also said that Harvard University President Lawrence Bako said Harvard will continue to defend its admissions practices. He said in a statement: “We want to create a group of students, so that each student receives a more colorful education, and considering race and other factors will help us achieve this goal.”
Lynch said Harvard’s admissions process and the principle that applicants must get approval from a 40-member committee to be admitted essentially “outweigh any risk of bias.”
