+| QuestionsPresented = (1) Should this Court overrule ''[[Grutter v. Bollinger]]'', and hold that institutions of higher education cannot use race as a factor in admissions; and<br>(2) Title VI of the Civil Rights Act bans race-based admissions that, if done by a public university, would violate the Equal Protection Clause. Is Harvard violating Title VI by penalizing Asian-American applicants, engaging in racial balancing, overemphasizing race, and rejecting workable race-neutral alternatives?
+| Holding = [[Harvard University|Harvard]]'s admissions program violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. [[United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit]] reversed.

-'''''Independent Special Prosecutor v. Kisswani''''', F-24-059 (2024), was a landmark decision of the [[Central Student Judiciary]]. The case concerned [[Hana Kisswani]], a School of Social Work Assembly candidate who accepted a donation from her non-student sister and exceeded CSG’s Campaign Expenditure Limit. The Court held that a rule prohibiting donations from non-students did not apply to candidates' acceptance of such donations, and only prohibited non-students from making donations. More significantly, the Court struck down the Candidate Expenditure Limit as unconstitutional under the Free Speech Clause of the [[All-Campus Constitution]], applying [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strict%20scrutiny strict scrutiny] and partially overturning [[Parikh v. University Elections Commission (2012)|''Parikh v. UEC'' (2012)]].
