Cruz, Steel lead brief in Harvard race admissions Supreme Court case: 'Heavy toll on Asian-American students'
Fox News
EXCLUSIVE: Senate and House Republicans joined together to file a brief in a closely watched case before the Supreme Court dealing with Harvard and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's (UNC) use of race in admissions decisions, which they argue is illegal.
"Race-conscious admissions decisions inflict a heavy toll on Asian-American students. Treating them differently because of their race is a stark departure from equal protection decisions issued early on by this Court, which guarded Chinese immigrants from racial prejudice. And the burdens imposed on petitioner illustrate a wider trend. Asian-Americans are increasingly victimized by discriminatory practices," the lawmakers say in their brief.
