Discrimination at Harvard University

According to an article recently published by CNN, Harvard University is currently being sued for discriminating against Asian-American student applicants. The claim being made by the groups suing the school is that--on average--an Asian-American student has to be in much better academic standing than a white student in order to obtain equal likelihood of acceptance into the university. This has not been the first time that Harvard has been accused of racial discrimination, and the most recent voices are calling for a federal investigation to be conducted by the United States Department of Education and the Justice Department.
