Harvard takes 'majority non-white' for first time, in 2017

More than half of Harvard University's next student intake will not be white, for the first time in its 380-year history, official figures show.

The figures come just days after Harvard was drawn into a row over affirmative action between the US 🇺🇸 justice department and the New York Times. 📰

On 1 August, the paper 📰 claimed the justice department was preparing to sue campuses with affirmative action admissions policies, as it feels they are biased against white applicants.

Roger Clegg, president of the conservative Center for Equal Opportunity and a former top official in the justice department's civil rights division, told the BBC he felt affirmative action was outdated.
