[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are these legal battles the best use of fcps tax dollars? Maybe if they spent more money on other aap programs people wouldn’t need to clamor so hard to get into the scarce resource that’s TJ

Just get rid of all race on apps[/quote]

TJ doesn’t have race on the app.

[b]Disparate impact[/b] is a recognized legal theory.[/quote]

Interesting. So if certain races have much lower acceptance rates & enrollment #s than others is that a disparate impact?
[/quote]

It basically means something that is race neutral can still be found to be discriminatory if it results in having a disparate impact on a protected class. Something that is race neutral can be a proxy for doing something racist if it has the result of being discriminatory against certain races. It depends on the facts and who and how it impacts. [/quote]

Then the other side would have to show a legitimate not discriminating reason for doing it more or less. [/quote]

With a strict scrutiny standard which is almost impossible to meet. TJ would be in an infinite loop because whatever happens with this case would then open them up to a lawsuit from black or Hispanic groups claiming disparate impact. Any fix would then open them to a suit from Asian American groups. It definitely would be be the most hilarious ending, but there is a reason conservative justices disfavor disparate impact. This last thing this Court wants is to make these kinds of suits easier. [/quote]

Is it con law here? Are they suing under the constitution or something else? Isn’t strict scrutiny only for con law? Im not up to date on the legal theories being used here. [/quote]

They are suing based based on the 14th amendment [/quote]
