If SCOTUS thinks it’s discriminatory to select for race then it also stands to reason that it’s discriminatory to select for legacy. In both cases the applicant has as much control over the status as the other.
The issue is that it was discriminatory on the basis of race, which is explicitly protected in the Constitution. The educational history of your parents is not, nor does the Constitution contain a generic anti-discrimination section.
This case is apparently attempting to argue that legacy admissions is de facto discrimination in favor of white applicants, which I struggle to imagine they’ll be successful with, particularly with this Court.
I fully expect the defense to be, “Well, we can’t discriminate based on the applicant’s race, sex, religion, etc… but the constitution doesn’t say anything about discrimination based on legacy status.”
Does anyone have a non-paywalled source for this? Thanks!
Appreciate it!

This… isn’t world news… Are we going to have to make anime_tiddies all over again?
Why isn’t it world news?
It’s first and foremost American news. The normal reason world news subreddits get made (since any news is technically world news) is because American news tends to dominate if you don’t specifically rule it out.
Also see Rule 10
Rule 10: No US-internal News: Articles about events within the US or related to the US internal news with no involvement of foreign officials or international organizations and no effect on people outside the US are not allowed here.
It’s already a thing. https://kbin.social/m/anime_titties
