A recent report in The Los Angeles Times detailed how Asian American families are facing “added stress” after the end of affirmative action in college admissions.
This is despite the high court siding with the organization Students for Fair Admissions, which argued that race-conscious college admissions discriminated against Asian American students.
“The need for diversity can’t come at the cost of Asian Americans,” said Calvin Yang, who spoke on behalf of Students for Fair Admissions before their court victory.
Retired judge Wendell Griffen says he never saw the Supreme Court’s decision as a “victory” for Asian American students.
“It’s not factually true. The record in the Students for Fair Admissions case did not identify a single student of any ethnicity that had been denied admission to either the University of North Carolina or Harvard based upon the affirmative action criteria,” said Judge Griffen.
