New York (AFP) - A nonprofit group filed a lawsuit Monday against Harvard University, accusing the world-famous Ivy League institution of racial profiling in its admissions policies.

Students for Fair Admissions says Harvard limits the number of Asian Americans it admits while giving preference to other races, according to the Project on Fair Representation (PFR), a legal defense fund supporting the lawsuit.

"The university is engaging in a campaign of invidious discrimination," PFR said in a statement.

"White, African American and Hispanic applicants are given racial preferences over better qualified Asian Americans," it added, accusing Harvard of breaching civil rights laws and undermining the Fourteenth Amendment to the US constitution.

Plaintiff the SFFA alleges that Harvard and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill violated the Supreme Court's 2013 ruling on "strict scrutiny" standards which says admissions should be conducted on "race-neutral" grounds to end "race-based affirmative action policies," according to the PFR statement.

The director of PFR vowed further action on race-based admissions policies at other universities in the United States.

"These two lawsuits are the first of what are expected to be several similar challenges to other competitive colleges that continue to unconstitutionally use racial preferences in admission decisions," said Edward Blum.

SFFA said its members include "highly qualified" students that have been rejected from Harvard and Chapel Hill, and their parents.

My lower abdomen feels funny..............what do i do

- Non profit group decides to sue Harvard over what it describes as racial profiling against prospective Asian students.
- Group lists that other North American minority groups receive special preference over Asian students.
- Same group mentions after lawsuit against Harvard, would checkmate the same policy existing in other North American schools.
- Group highlights that its members are comprised of highly qualified students who were rejected from applying to Ivy league colleges including Harvard.


The problem I've with this lawsuit is that the school is right in its stance of rejecting Asians.
Harvard has a reputation of creating all-round students, i.e. they excel in education, hobbies, are creative and can socially interact with peers. Out of all the mentioned features Asian students excel only at book-smarts because Asian parents pay high attention to intelligence and nothing else.
