Following the Supreme Court recent decision that effectively ended affirmative action policies in Harvard admissions, the school now faces a civil complaint over its legacy admissions practices.
The high court last week ruled against Harvard and the University of North Carolina over their admissions practices prioritizing certain racial groups at the expense of others.
Now, the school faces a legal complaint from Lawyers for Civil Rights (LCR) over its admission of students based on the past attendance of their family members.
“Each year, Harvard College grants special preference in its admissions process to hundreds of mostly white students — not because of anything they have accomplished, but rather solely because of who their relatives are,” the complaint reads.
