Harvard Students Object to Use of Personal Data in Admissions Bias Suit

Some Harvard undergraduates are objecting to the university handing over their data to a group suing Harvard for allegedly discriminating against Asian-Americans in the admissions process, according to a letter filed in federal court Thursday. Harvard began notifying successful and unsuccessful undergraduate applicants from 2009 through 2015 last week that data from their applications is set to be turned over later this month to Students for Fair Admissions as part of a lawsuit challenging the elite school's affirmative-action policies.
