[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]no way plaintiffs can win this. Harvard can shape its undergraduate class anyway it wants. One year they may be looking for Russian speaking bagpipe players. Nothing anywhere says they have to go by grades, SAT's and extra-curricular activities. They also have every right to deny "packaged" applicants and that is what I suspect the plaintiff was. [/quote] I'm trying to understand this better. Does the courts' latitude to impose admissions requirements depend on whether Harvard takes any federal money? So because most Ivies are "private" institutions, they aren't held to the same standards as, say, the University of Michigan? And the fact that some Ivies have large research departments that take federal money wouldn't change this?[/quote]
