Harvards new guidelines ban race references in alumni interviews, NAACP LDF calls the policy unlawful

The NAACP Legal Defense Fund has slammed Harvard University's new admissions guidance, deeming it 'unlawful and discriminatory.' The policy bars alumni interviewers from mentioning an applicant's race, a move the LDF argues violates civil rights law and disproportionately harms students of color. Harvard claims compliance with a Supreme Court ruling, but the LDF insists the policy censors crucial experiences.
