However, I also expect the stubborn, unprincipled educational establishment to violate this law by adopting one workaround after another.
The University of Texas, Austin, some time ago, did that effectively by admitting the ranking top 10% in any high school graduating class across the state, disregarding the quality of the school. Discrimination against whites and asians is perhaps even worse than under affirmative action. It should be challenged - given that UT is a state school.
To clarify my position. I think affirmative action is immoral, paternalistic, and unconstitutional. But, to the extent that Harvard is a private institution, I think they ought to be able to discriminate if they want to. But, insofar as affirmative action is actually affirmative discrimination, I think it violates anti-discrimination law (even though I do not support that law - Title VII of the Civil Rights Act). If Harvard wants to discriminate then anyone should be allowed to discriminate against whomever they want. . The law should not be confined to discrimination against certain groups.
Meantime social media is abuzz with this, "reporting" on how bad it is, without any clue about the facts and the principles involved. They claim the moral high ground for an immoral cause.
