Asian American leaders in Congress say a lot is at stake in the Harvard race-based admissions case that is set for oral arguments at the Supreme Court next week.
Monday will hear two cases dealing with the alleged policies of Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that are"penalizing Asian American applicants" and using"race as a factor in admissions." The court is expected to issue a decision in 2023.
"All students should have the opportunity to pursue their dreams, and they should be charged on their merits and not be discriminated against because of their race or background," Kim said. "So my story hopefully resonates with people," Kim said, noting that the radical admissions policies by some colleges, including Harvard and UNC, is"making the American dream out of reach because of those out-of-touch policies."
In addition to leading an amicus brief with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, the California Republican introduced the"Harvard Act," which would hold higher education institutions accountable for using personality traits as a key admissions factor.
