Education Department Opens Civil Rights Inquiry into Harvard's Legacy Admissions
The Education Department has launched a civil rights inquiry into Harvard University's admissions policy, specifically examining the practice of legacy admissions and admissions preferences for family, alumni, and donors. This inquiry follows the Supreme Court's recent decision limiting affirmative action. The investigation aims to determine if these preferences discriminate against black, Hispanic, and Asian applicants in favor of white and wealthy students. The inquiry could potentially lead to a settlement or a legal battle that may reach the Supreme Court.
