A group named FASORP, which consists of students and faculty, is suing the Harvard Law Review for allegedly discriminating against white men in its selection process. The controversy ignited when an email circulated among students, revealing claims that the Law Review was violating federal law by preferring women, non-Asian minorities, and sexual minorities. FASORP offered provocative strategies for candidates, such as claiming a racial background based on ancestry or fabricating experiences related to minority status, during the selection process to join the prestigious journal.
The email claimed that the Harvard Law Review was violating federal law "by awarding discriminatory preferences to women, non-Asian racial minorities, and homosexual or transgender students."
FASORP provided "advice" to first-year law students hopeful of joining the Law Review, suggesting they could claim "African-American" heritage based on a common ancestry in Africa or take a DNA test to assert minority status.
