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.
