A federal appellate court has upheld race-based admissions at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Virginia, saying that it does not discriminate against Asian students.
Tuesday, turning aside claims that officials were discriminating against Asian-American students.
“After thorough consideration of the record and the appellate contentions, we are satisfied that the challenged admissions policy does not disparately impact Asian American students and that the Coalition cannot establish that the Board adopted its race-neutral policy with any discriminatory intent,” Judge Robert B. King, a Bill Clinton appointee, wrote for the majority.
“[W]hile slightly less than half of TJ’s applicants in 2021 identified as Asian American , well over half of the offers extended went to those students,” he wrote. Judge Allison Jones Rushing, who was nominated to the federal bench by former President Donald Trump, dissented, saying “the evidence shows an undisputed racial motivation and an undeniable racial result” in the policy.
