Asian-Americans Suing Harvard Say Admissions Files Show Discrimination

' 

Students for Fair Admissions includes more than a dozen Asian-American students who applied to Harvard and were rejected. They contend in their lawsuit that Harvard systematically and unconstitutionally discriminates against Asian-American applicants by penalizing their high achievement as a group, while giving preferences to other racial and ethnic minorities. They say that Harvard's admission process amounts to an illegal quota system.'
