Affirmative action and the Supreme Court – court needs to end Harvard’s discrimination against Asian Americans. Discrimination of any kind is morally wrong.
Republican Michelle Steel represents California’s 48th District in the U.S. House of Representatives. She is a first generation Korean American and is one of the first Korean American women ever to serve in the U.S. Congress.
Harvard has called this lawsuit "politically motivated" and President Lawrence Bacow stated that this decision "puts at risk 40 years of legal precedent granting colleges and universities the freedom and flexibility to create diverse campus communities." But in 2018, The New York Times highlighted that though these Asian-American applicants scored higher than other groups on test scores and traditional application materials, they were consistently rated lower on traits like likability, courage and being widely respected. If these admissions tactics are truly being used at institutions of higher education, applicants deserve to know.
