The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill didn’t discriminate against white and Asian-American applicants in its undergraduate-admissions process, a federal judge ruled Monday, 11 months after the case went to trial

Students for Fair Admissions argued that UNC gave too much weight to applicants’ race, favoring Black, Hispanic and Native American applicants. They also said the school didn’t fully pursue race-neutral alternatives to diversify its student body.

U.S. District Judge Loretta Biggs said in her ruling that the school “continues to have much work to do” in its effort to improve diversity and inclusion but that it does comply with Supreme Court precedent regarding the consideration of race in admissions.in the admissions process was narrowly tailored, she said, and it had made a good-faith effort to consider race-neutral alternatives—like boosting financial aid, changing its recruiting approach and accepting more transfer students.

Mr. Blum said Students for Fair Admissions was disappointed by the court’s finding. He said the group will appeal the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals and, if necessary, to the Supreme Court.The judge said that while the school has made strides in recent years, it had been defined for most of its existence by “discriminatory and obstructionist policies”—not ones that hurt white and Asian-American students, but that disadvantaged students of color.

Though its approach is constitutionally sound, she said, “the University is far from creating the diverse environment described in its Mission Statement and other foundational documents submitted into evidence in this case.”

Fake news. Yes they did by taking race into consideration during their admission process. The judge ruled that they could do that and no be penalized for it. So in the end more qualified students were denied admission. Makes sense.

يا عنصريين يا وحشين

Its time to start fining the stupid people behind these frivolous law suits. Tearing a country down instead of building up. America

Who cares?

‘Didn’t discriminate,’ but ‘still has work to do?’ Something doesn’t add up here. And they wonder why we don’t trust this corrupt government anymore?
