The legal group Project on Fair Representation announced a lawsuit on Monday against Harvard for “employing racially and ethnically discriminatory policies” in its admissions decisions, according to The Harvard Crimson.
“Harvard’s undergraduate admissions policies and procedures have injured and continue to injure Plaintiff’s members by intentionally and improperly discriminating against them on the basis of their race and ethnicity in violation of Title VI,” according to a copy of the filed complaint obtained by The Crimson.
The plaintiff in the case, Students for Fair Admissions Inc., is a newly formed nonprofit law group that includes groups of students and parents who wish to change the use of race in Harvard's admissions policies and proposes an injunction against policies the group says are discriminatory.
In November 2006, Jian Li, a Chinese-American student, filed a complaint with the Office of Civil Rights against Princeton alleging he had been rejected from the University because of his race, despite scoring a perfect score on the SAT and a number of AP tests.
