Harvard University is facing a lawsuit as three minority advocacy groups challenge its legacy admissions policy. The groups have accused the university of giving an unfair advantage to applicants whose family members went to the school, most of whom are white. In a recent interview with 7NEWS, lawyers who filed the suit spoke out.“It’s the time to end this unfair admission policy,” said Abdul Hussein.“It has been a longstanding policy and it has been one that has overwhelmingly benefitted white applicants,” said Michael Kippins. This lawsuit comes after the Supreme Court last week ruled on affirmative action in college admissions, ruling that race should not be considered during college admissions.Lawyers behind this new lawsuit have now argued that legacy admissions give an unfair advantage to the mostly white children of alumni. “It is exactly the time that we need to end that practice,” Hussein said. “…We’re just looki...
