"Legacy Admissions at Harvard Under Fire: Lawsuit Challenges Affirmative Action Ruling"

TL;DR Summary
Activists have filed a lawsuit against Harvard University, challenging the practice of legacy admissions, which they argue discriminates against students of color by giving an unfair advantage to the mostly white children of alumni. The lawsuit comes in the wake of the Supreme Court's recent decision ending affirmative action in college admissions. The civil rights group alleges that Harvard's admissions system violates the Civil Rights Act and calls for an end to the practice. A separate campaign is also urging alumni to withhold donations until schools end legacy admissions.
