    • Abstract:
      Affirmative action has inspired fierce debates and repeated litigation. In the Harvard lawsuit, the district court permitted this diverse coalition of students to submit testimony in support of race-conscious admissions during the three-week trial held in October 2018. For its part, SFFA did not present a single student to testify on their behalf, nor did SFFA submit a single student file containing implicit or explicit discriminatory statements, nor did SFFA's experts consult a single student in forming their opinions. The students uniformly declared that SFFA's race-blind regime resulted in an unacceptable drop in the number of minority students on campus. [Extracted from the article]
