The Problem With Race-Based Affirmative Action

Harvard used an SAT for a cut off of 1310 for white students, 1350 for Asian American females and 1380 for Asian American males if you lived in sparse country. As this piece notes, there were audible gasps in the courtroom when this evidence was revealed at trial.
