then she goes on to harvard. we went back and we looked at as many documents as we could find to find out was there some correlation? on the face of it, it looks like there could be. , startingou look at with the university of pennsylvania, we were able to find the document that had never before been reported. it was a 10 page equal opportunity memo that the university of pennsylvania had to fill out when they hired her. they had to fill it out because they saw themselves as hiring a white woman. in the course of 10 pages, they had to go through this giant pool of applicants that they have looked at for this position, break them down by sex, minority, the number of black applicants, the number of asian applicants, the number of native american applicants, and then say, look, after looking at all of these people, we ended up hiring a white woman elizabeth warren because we could not find an eagle or better minority for the job. that is quoted in the report. to me, that pretty much solved the issue for the universi

so i think that harvard is right to take a holistic perspective when deciding whether or not. and i think that's really the biggest takeaway learn from me i have that style and you also pool how can the court understand what the application process is like what it's like to student and you go over the information what can you tell us about the information you gave the court to help them understand the situation better. just to look i've talked a lot about my own personal experiences with diversity years so i come from a very white suburb of texas i grew up with that much diversity most of my students most of my peers were white race and so after sort of my time here i really realized just how necessary crucial diversity is to my harbor experience if it hadn't been very diverse your perspectives on the different people of color my causes my experience here would be completely different in the worst way and so i didn't i just like really wanted to put it in that student perspective of why they were just diversity is so important why did actually. to me what's your biggest issue

doing harvard he declined an interview with al-jazeera the debate has split the asian american community some accuse blum of using them as a tool to push his real agenda of helping white students while others say harvard is using affirmative action as a pass to discriminate against asian americans they don't look at the reality that if you're going to do that are being discriminated against they just write you off meanwhile the trumpet ministration has jumped in to oppose harvard saying no american should be denied admission to school because of their race the politicization of the case is further evidence for many asian americans that they are being used as a racial wedge the case is final outcome will likely be decided by the u.s. supreme court. castro al jazeera cambridge massachusetts now bruce fein is a constitutional lawyer and former us associate deputy attorney general and he says the man behind the lawsuit wants to end the practice of affirmative action i don't think that necessarily because he has an ulterior motive it somehow spoils the general principle is at stake we fought

how then can they claim they are essentially being discriminated against at harvard. >> in 2016, harvard only looked at academic qualifications, if they only looked at demographic proceedings, if they only looked at academic qualifications, then the asian-americans would amount to 42% of harvard's student population. that's what this suit seeks to define and suss out whether or not harvard is essentially saying, as it used to with jewish applicants, many years ago, essentially it said we have enough of these people, we want to get enough of these people. and whether or not harvard is doing that today as it did with jewish applicants many years ago. >> shouldn't harvard be able to decide the character of their community? and by that, i mean if a college like harvard decides, you know, we see just as much value in socioeconomic -- socioeconomic diversity, we see just as much value in that as we do racial diversity or religious diversity. >> socioeconomic diversity would be a safer route for communities to go, because once you start using race, that becomes a constitutional issue. it's a co

simply put, do you think harvard discriminates against asian americans?ink what we're seeing and what students are showing right now is that harvard has been raising the bar for asian americans and lowering it for other groups in the pursuit of racial diversity. harvard is pursuing this racial diversity for the sake of diversity itself and it's really a shallow thing to do, i think. i think we saw harvard did this with jews back in the 1920s as welwell where they kept numbers artificially low by using a subjective personal rating. i think it's demeaning to reduce applicants to their race and it's discriminatory. these practices have been reported on for years. i think it will be interesting to see what comes out of this case. rob: we want to show people exactly how this is alleged to be done. we're going to show you some s.a.t. score requirements here. everybody remembers the s. a a.t.s. for black, hispanic and native american applicants harvard appears to be looking for a score around 1100 to get in. for asian women, though, look at the jump there, to 13

harvard law

last year the harvard president said the supreme court twice -- last week, harvard's president said thetwice ruled in the school's favor and that the court held their admissions process as an example of how in seeking to achieve a diverse student body race may enter the process as a factor among many in consideration. also, according to "the wall street journal" harvard said eliminating affirmative action to boost the number of white students increasing the share of a class from 40% to 48% and harvard found the share of asian americans to rise from 24% to 27% but the number of african-american students would drop from 14% to 6%. hispanics to drop from 14% to 9%. since 1978, the supreme court has allowed race conscious decisions on admission as long as they're done precisely. the point of these practices is essentially to ensure more exposure to a variety of viewpoints but now that the court shifted to the right with the latest addition of judge brett kavanaugh, its position on affirmative action and higher education could change. nbc news justice correspondent pete williams is live in w

they've been demanding harvard cut ties with kavanaugh. in other words, the mob got their way. for yale and harvard and even dean unfair who we talked about earlier, what happened to this principle of innocent until provenci guilty. i thought the liberals really believed in that. that is totally out the window. given the shaky state of these accusations against kavanaugh and the daily erosion of the credit ability of the accusers, why are law schools, of all places, rushing to judgment against their own alumnus? without any substantiating evidence or witnesses. it's amazing. if they really wanted to teach theirng law students an importat lesson it might be this: put your political prejudice aside, exercise a bit of restraint and withhold judgment until all the evidence and the facts are in. oh, and justice should still be blind, not political. andd that's the angle. joining me now is allan lichtman and jamil jarrer. great to have you here. this professor is literallyic calling for violence against republican senators. your thoughts on this. and the university is backing her wom

that would be different because harvard is a private institution. if it were a government school, then we would look at strict scrutiny. i'm not going to comment on what i think should be done in the harvard case. we would have to look at what precedent is on point as judge barber said. the court has interpreted the 14th amendment in certain ways. we would apply those cases to facts of whatever case we would get. mr. smith: like my colleagues would say, i would look into compelling interests. hotwood.sus i would search on those issues. mr. wetherell: i think i will have to claim slight ignorance as to -- is -- as what barbara did. that is not an issue that came before me. my general recollection is that it is a factor that can be considered in larger factors in the goal of promoting diversity. the on that, i would have to look at the arguments and do more research when the issue came before me. sen. kennedy: fair enough. let me ask you this, the role of legislature -- legislative history. it is accepted -- it is an accepted precedent that all accept
