An advocacy group opposed to race-conscious college-admissions policies is urging federal courts to end their use around the nation through lawsuits filed on Monday against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
In contrast to the most recent challenge to such policies fielded by the U.S. Supreme Court—a lawsuit accusing the University of Texas at Austin of being too heavy-handed in its admissions preferences for black and Hispanic applicants—the new complaints against Harvard and North Carolina argue that race-conscious policies should be completely banned by the nation’s highest court because colleges inevitably abuse them.
