There's a law against universities discriminating on the basis of race, title VI, here's how it goes:
"No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."
That's the law. Is it legal to discriminate on the grounds of race under programs that receive Federal financial assistance?
I think it's pretty clear that it is not, not sure why the Supreme Court had to get involved in that.
What's the law for legacy admissions? They're free to do that as far as I know, what's the law that says otherwise?
There's a difference between those two things, you must agree.

- raincom 3y agoThe current SCOTUS says admissions is a zero-sum game. If legacy or ALDC 'quotas' somehow results in racial discrimination indirectly, yes, there is a case. We will know it through the discovery, as these schools don’t reveal these details unless courts force them to share.
