STUDENTS FOR FAIR ADMISSIONS PETITIONS FOR SCOTUS HEARING ON ADMISSIONS DISCRIMINATION
An anti-affirmative action group, Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA), petitioned the Supreme Court to hear its challenge against Harvard University and filed a new lawsuit against Yale University, alleging it intentionally discriminates against the admission of Asian Americans. While the Supreme Court has allowed colleges to narrowly use race in admissions for decades, SFFA could have favorable odds given the newly cemented conservative majority on the high court.
