Texas Files Amicus Brief Supporting SFFA in Harvard Admissions Lawsuit
Vivi E. Lu and Dekyi T. Tsotsong, Harvard Crimson, April 2, 2021
The state of Texas filed an amicus brief Tuesday in favor of the anti-affirmative action group suing Harvard over its race-conscious admissions policies.
Students for Fair Admissions, which first filed suit against Harvard in 2014, petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court on Feb. 25 to review a pair of lower court rulings that decided in favor of Harvard’s use of race in admissions. In addition to reiterating its previous claims that Harvard’s admissions practices illegally discriminate against Asian American applicants, SFFA called on the justices to overturn Grutter v. Bollinger a 2003 landmark case in which the Supreme Court deemed the use of race in higher education admissions constitutional.
