The new report attempts to publicly dismantle arguments from an anti-affirmative group that has fought race-conscious admissions at several universities, including with a case against Harvard University that could reach the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Students for Fair Admissions, or SFFA, sued Harvard in 2014, arguing that it discriminates against Asian American applicants.
It lost the case against Harvard in late 2019, when a federal judge ruled that the university’s use of race in admissions was “necessary and narrowly tailored” to maintain a diverse student body. An appeals court later upheld the ruling.
