BOSTON—Harvard University and a group accusing it of discriminating against Asian-American applicants began their closing arguments on Nov. 2, in a trial that could have wider implications for the role of race in U.S. college admissions.
The case in federal court in Boston has pitted the Ivy League school against Students for Fair Admissions, or SFFA, which was founded by an anti-affirmative action activist and whose case is backed by President Donald Trump’s administration.
