Yascha Mounk, Is Harvard Unfair to Asian-Americans? In an opaque admissions system, echoes of anti-Semitic prejudice. New York Times, Nov 25, 2015 (op-ed).
My comment:
(a) There is no need to speculate, or argue. Harvard University and University of North Carolina were sued in a single lawsuit for this. We can wait for the outcomes.
(i) Students For Fair Admissions Inc v President and Fellows of Harvard College. US District Court, District of Massachusetts (Boston) No 1:14-cv-14176; and
(ii) Students For Fair Admissions Inc v University of North Carolina. US District Court, Middle District of North Carolina (Greensboro) No 1:14-cv-00954.
