Complaint alleging Harvard bias against Asians dismissed

From The Boston Globe:
Not all Asians feel discriminated against, said University of California, Irvine professor
Jennifer Lee, a sociologist who studies race and ethnicity. … Those who filed the
complaint place too much importance on being admitted to an Ivy League school, Lee
said, and don’t realize that if race is eliminated as a part of admissions, other
types of bias could hurt Asians even more, such as admitting more students whose parents
attended the school.
