A civil rights legal group is challenging legacy admissions at Harvard University, saying the practice discriminates against students of color by giving an unfair boost to the mostly white children of alumni.

In the wake of a Supreme Court decision that removes race from the admissions process, colleges are coming under renewed pressure to put an end to legacy preferences, the practice of favoring applicants with family ties to alumni.

A divided Supreme Court has struck down affirmative action in college admissions, declaring race cannot be a factor and forcing institutions of higher education to look for new ways to achieve diverse student bodies.

Kathy Delaney-Smith is retiring after 40 years as Harvard's women's basketball coach.

When Ketanji Brown Jackson’s younger daughter was 11, she drafted a letter to President Barack Obama suggesting her federal-judge mom for a vacancy on the Supreme Court.

Salsberry says she picked Harvard because of their coaches and her future teammates and also because of their top-notch facilities.

"This means that an individual with Vascular Type EDS will not normally have a child with Classical Type EDS."

A team of Harvard bioengineers took a major step in taking cultured meat from lab to table. Researchers successfully grew cow and rabbit meat from an edible gelatin base for the first time, creating a substance that successfully mimicked the texture of natural meat, according to a new study published in the npj Science of Food journal. But previous attempts to grow environmentally friendly meat found it difficult to recreate the long, stringy muscle fibers that make up meat. The rabbit and cow cells anchored to the gelatinous bases and grew similarly to real meat in long and thin strips. Engineers are still perfecting growing the meat in large quantities and creating products that mimic the natural taste and texture of meat.

(CNN) - A US district judge in Boston has upheld Harvard's admissions process following a challenge from a group of Asian American applicants who believe the school discriminated against them. Judge Allison Burroughs ruled Tuesday that while Harvard's admissions process is "not perfect," she will not "dismantle a very fine admissions program that passes constitutional muster, solely because it could do better." Burroughs found "Harvard's admission program passes constitutional muster in that it satisfies the dictates of strict scrutiny." The ruling in the closely watched case is likely to be appealed and culminate in a national showdown over affirmative action at the US Supreme Court.
