Harvard University's student newspaper Crimson reported that Asian-Americans face a higher wall in college admissions in spite of their strong academic performances:
In a system where one group is deemed "overrepresented," such as Asian Americans under current admissions schemes, it is inevitable that other "underrepresented" groups will gain ground...
In 1990, the federal government investigated Harvard for discriminating against Asian applicants. The investigation found that lower admission rates for Asians—despite somewhat stronger academic credentials—could be attributed to legacy and athlete preferences, which primarily benefited white applicants.
