Students for Fair Admissions

Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) is a non-profit organization that challenges affirmative action policies at colleges and universities. Founded by Edward Blum, SFFA argues that these policies discriminate against Asian American applicants by favoring other racial groups in the admissions process. The organization has filed lawsuits against institutions like Harvard University, alleging that their admissions practices violate civil rights laws. SFFA advocates for a merit-based admissions system, emphasizing that academic performance should be the primary factor in college admissions rather than race or ethnicity. Its cases have significant implications for higher education and diversity initiatives in the U.S.
