2019年10月1日，联邦法官伯劳斯（Allison D.
Burroughs）在反平权组织“学生支持公平入学”（SFFA）对哈佛大学提出的诉讼案中裁定，支持哈佛基于种族考虑的入学政策。
“哈佛的多样性在一定程度上取决于考虑种族因素的入学政策。哈佛大学的录取计划满足了严格的法律标准，符合宪法之要求。”伯劳斯在裁决书中写道。
SFFA于2014年对哈佛提出诉讼，称该校的考虑种族的入学政策歧视亚裔美国人。在诉讼过程中，哈佛的秘密招生政策的一些细节浮出了水面。
该案于2018年10月开始审理。在该诉讼案交由伯劳斯处理之前，哈佛大学和SFFA对该校的招生政策进行了三周的辩论。专家们最初预测她将在今年夏天公布裁决。
伯劳斯在裁决书中写道，哈佛的政策符合最高法院关于可接受的平权入学政策的先例。
她写道：“法庭认为，哈佛已经证明其录取程序符合最高法院在费希尔第二判例（Fisher II*）中阐明的原则。”
SFFA主席布卢姆（Edward Blum）在一份新闻稿中说，他的组织计划将这一裁决上诉至第一巡回上诉法院。
“学生支持公平入学组织对法院维持哈佛的歧视性入学政策感到失望。我们相信，在审判中提交的文件、电子邮件、数据分析和SFFA的陈述有力地揭示了哈佛对亚裔申请人的系统歧视。”
深红报尚未联系到哈佛官方对此置评。

BREAKING: Federal Judge Rules Harvard’s Admissions Policies Do Not
Discriminate Against Asian-American Applicants

Federal Judge Allison D. Burroughs ruled Tuesday to uphold Harvard’s race-
conscious admissions policies in the lawsuit filed against the University by
anti-affirmative action group Students for Fair Admissions.
“Ensuring diversity at Harvard relies, in part, on race conscious admissions.
Harvard’s admission program passes constitutional muster in that it satisfies
the dictates of strict scrutiny,” Burroughs wrote in her decision.
SFFA filed the lawsuit against Harvard in 2014, alleging that the College’s
race-conscious admissions policies discriminates against Asian-American
applicants. Over the course of the lawsuit, details about Harvard’s
notoriously secretive admissions policies have emerged.
The case went to trial in October 2018. Harvard and SFFA sparred over the
College’s admissions policies for three weeks before the decision was left at
the hands of Burroughs. Experts intially predicted she would issue her ruling
over the summer.
In her ruling, Burroughs wrote that Harvard’s policies meet the Supreme
Court’s precedent for acceptable affirmative action admission policies.
“Ultimately, the Court finds that Harvard has met its burden of showing that
its admissions process complies with the principles articulated by the Supreme
Court in Fisher II,” she wrote.
Edward Blum, the president of SFFA, said in a press release that his
organization plans to appeal the ruling to the First Circuit Court of Appeals.
“Students for Fair Admissions is disappointed that the court has upheld
Harvard’s discriminatory admissions policies. We believe that the documents,
emails, data analysis and depositions SFFA presented at trial compellingly
revealed Harvard’s systematic discrimination against Asian-American
applicants,” he said.
Harvard officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
