Abstract

The SFFA v. Harvard case has once again raised the question of Affirmative Action's “reverse discrimination” in higher education: a 2005 Princeton study [1] showed that Asian students needed to score 140 points more than white students, 270 points more than Hispanic students, and 450 points more than African-American students on the SAT in order to be placed in the same band. 270 more points than Hispanic students and 450 more points than African-American students in order to be placed in the same level bracket for comparison. This article uses the case of SFFA v. Harvard University (2019) to analyze which is better for educational equity, Affirmative Action or colorblindness. The desirability in colorblindness is used to optimize Affirmative Action using both literature research and historical research methods in the field of higher education.
