Judicial Watch said Monday that it has filed a brief asking the Supreme Court to hear a challenge to Harvard's admission policies, which is in part based on race and that the plaintiffs argue discriminates against Asian Americans.

The conservative-leaning watchdog group and Students for Fair Admissions, a non-profit organization focused on ending race-based admissions practices by U.S. colleges, argue the case against Harvard should be heard by the Supreme Court to set a precedent for such admission policies.

"Court-sanctioned racial discrimination in college admissions is contrary to federal law and the U.S. Constitution," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. "The Supreme Court should stop abusing its powers to protect racial discrimination and uphold the rights of Asian students and other innocents punished for being the wrong race by Harvard and other universities."
