BOSTON: A federal appeals court on Wednesday appeared sceptical of arguments that Harvard discriminates against Asian-American applicants, a claim made in a closely-watched lawsuit challenging the use of race as a factor in US college admissions.
SFFA lawyer William Consovoy argued that despite high academic scores, Asian-Americans were admitted a lower rates than other groups because of racial stereotyping by admissions officers who gave them low “personal” rating scores. A US Justice Department lawyer, Eric Dreiband, argued that Harvard in adopting its admissions system gave “no serious consideration of race-neutral alternatives”.
