"Harvard Faces Civil Rights Complaint Over Legacy Admissions"

A civil rights complaint has been filed against Harvard University, alleging that its use of legacy admissions and donor preferences in the admissions process is discriminatory and violates Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The complaint argues that these practices harm applicants of color and create a disproportionate, discriminatory impact. The move comes after the US Supreme Court recently banned the use of race-based affirmative action in college admissions. The complaint calls for Harvard to immediately cease considering an applicant's relationship to alumni and donors in the admissions process or risk losing federal funds.
