To what extent can a selective educational institution advantage certain racial groups in admissions decisions without discriminating against other groups simultaneously? How can said institutions balance external demands for fairness and group representation with their core mission to educate students sufficiently? How much influence should an institution itself wield, compared with other stakeholders (including the American public), in determining the desirability of a diverse student body? Answers to these thorny questions should be made clearer later this year with an anticipated Supreme Court ruling in the racial discrimination cases against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina (UNC).
On May 9, 2022, my group filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court to support the plaintiff, Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA). This is the third friend-of-the-court filing we have submitted to urge our nation’s highest judicial body to revisit its previous rulings and clarify the legal parameters surrounding race-consciousness in college admissions. Brilliantly crafted by our partner organization, the American Civil Rights Project (ACR Project), this latest document makes two arguments against the current paradigm of race-preferential admissions. Both positions are also applicable when one scrutinizes race-conscious decision-making in general.

Really? You need a license to discriminate?
Lets’ see, “Discriminate”.
“Discriminate” means to choose.
Since when Mr. Wenyuan Wu do we need a license to freely choose how we live and what we do?
I stopped reading after I saw him use “advantage” as a verb.
Stop it, zillennials.
The author is writing in favor of equality, and against discrimination.
Obviously. Hence my questions to the author and anyone and everyone else who thinks there’s something wrong with our basic God-given right and freedom to choose (AKA “discrimination”).
Ding ding!
We have a winner for the stupidest post of the day.
Congrats.
You lost me, Jacquerie.
How is standing up for freedom of choice (outside of infanticide murder) stupid?
Read the article. Please.
Freedom of choice is a two-edged sword. Individual and private concern freedom isn’t perfect but it is way ahead of whatever’s in second place.
My point is the use and application of the word “discriminate” (freedom of choice) became a dirty word since MLK. But it is not.
Individuals and private concerns like private Universities have constitutionally-protected rights to discriminate. Nobody needs a “license” to discriminate.
Constitutionally, only government is forbidden from segregation of blacks (Amendment XIV, Sec. 1).
Next time think before you make asinine responses.
