Litigation on Ivy League Admission Policies
In the days since the US Supreme Court ruled against affirmative action in higher education, Adam Nguyen has been emailing warnings to the Asian clients that he advises on US elite college admissions.
“There’s a perception now that it’s easier for them to get in. That’s false,” he said. “They still have to distinguish themselves on subjective measures. I don’t want my clients to be lulled into complacency.”
America’s highest court last month ruled that it was unconstitutional for Harvard and the University of North Carolina (UNC) to use race as a basis for admissions. The decision was cheered by some who claimed that affirmative action discriminated against Asian students.
