Wow - I thought evidence was super clear that Harvard DID discriminate. If what Harvard was doing was not discrimination than a whole world opens up for this type of "non-discrimination" against minorities, Asians and others.

How in the world are other much more nebulous and tenuous cases being won and this one is not?

Crazy world.

The judge said they did it for "the right reasons" not that they didn't do it....

This is a direct quote from the headline:

"Harvard Admissions Process Does Not Discriminate Against Asian-Americans, Judge Rules"

I'm not sure what "the right reasons" are - my understanding was discrimination was prohibited based on race and ethnicity.

If you read the rest of the article it says while they did aggressively discriminate the judge ruled that as ok since they did it to create a more diverse campus.
