Students for Fair Admissions, an anti-affirmative action group, on Thursday sued the University of Texas at Austin, alleging that its consideration of race in admissions violates the Texas Constitution, the group said in a news release.
The nonprofit group, known as SFFA, in 2014 also sued Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, accusing those institutions of discriminatory admissions practices. The nonprofit accused Harvard of discriminating against Asian-American applicants; the case was tried last year, and a judge is expected to rule this year. Chapel Hill was accused of giving “significant racial preferences” to underrepresented minority applicants.
