This is a clash of keeping a status quo of entrenched wealth, legacy, and power vs. discriminating/affirmative action at some level. Without some kind of affirmative action somewhere in the system we are just perpetuating old power and money dynamics extant since the founding of the country, if not before.

As a person in the discriminated against group of the DOJ complaint, I am against the DOJ motion. I agree Yale probably violated the law, but I don't view AA as inherently immoral.

Downvote time: my solution for Yale to serve the least empowered historically groups in this country, descendants of slaves and equally disempowered groups through generationally unfair/racist laws (e.g. interment camps, 3/5 compromise, Jim Crow, red lining, etc) is to say if you can trace your family history to any of these events, you get a boost. Same effect, not race based.
