Affirmative action

The goal of those pushing reparations is not to heal the wounds of the past, but to leverage them in perpetuity in order to punish their enemies.

Harvard College maintains noxious de facto racial quotas to penalize Asian-Americans, redolent of the anti-Jewish Ivy League quotas of the early 20th century.

It is politically easy for an incoming Democratic team to reject their predecessors' work. What would be remarkable, however, is if they can achieve new victories while also building upon the advances of those who came before.

Diversification—it's not just for alpha any more.

Councilman Cedric Crear wrote that Michele Fiore's comments during the convention were "totally repugnant, and spit in the face of all black persons."

The conservative commentator also claimed that Asians "have it lucky."

In a renewed push for total meritocracy in college admissions, affirmative action could join legacy admissions in going by the wayside.

"She exploited somebody else's culture and I'm the racist for pointing it out? I love that!" Tucker Carlson said.

Edward Blum is spearheading a lawsuit on behalf of Asian-Americans who say Harvard unlawfully discriminates against them.

President Trump's Supreme Court pick may determine the future of race-conscious admissions.

The Trump administration will end a set of Obama-era policies and guidelines that aimed to promote diversity on university campuses by encouraging the use of race in college admissions, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

The Department of Justice confirmed its investigation into Harvard University in a letter to watchdog groups.

Donald Trump was elected, focus shifted to Harvard and the University of Texas fought back.

What is affirmative action? Why is this a big deal? Is the Trump report true?

"My fingerprints are nowhere near any of this," says Blum, who helped with the Supreme Court case Fisher v. the University of Texas.

Scalia's assertion that African-Americans don't do well at fast-track schools is just plain wrong.

The case before the Justices is far more complex than simply reserving places for minorities.

The Supreme Court justice has all but said that black lives don't matter.

He said black college students could benefit from "a less-advanced school, a slower-track school."

The Supreme Court is set to rule on a variety of hot-button social issues.

The court made it clear it was not deciding the larger and divisive question of whether affirmative action admission policies can be lawful.
