Students for Fair Admissions Sends Letters to Yale, Princeton, and Duke Questioning Class of 2028 Admissions Processes and Outcomes
(Arlington, VA) Today, Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) sent letters to the presidents and general counsels of Yale University, Princeton University and Duke University. The letters are attached.
The letters note that SFFA is gravely concerned that these schools are not complying with the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard which ended the use of race as a factor in college admissions.
Specifically, the letter states that these three schools joined an amicus brief in which they stated to the Supreme Court that it would be impossible to “obtain a diverse student body” without the racial preferences the justices subsequently found to be unconstitutional. Based on the extensive experience of SFFA, its legal team and experts, it is not possible for these schools to obtain the racial outcomes for the class of 2028 that they have reported without using racial proxies that the Supreme Court forbids.
Edward Blum, president of SFFA, said, “SFFA hopes these colleges will provide us and the public with specific, granular details about their new admissions policies. Litigation is our last option, but one we will not avoid.”
