The group Students for Fair Admissions says Harvard holds Asian-American applicants to a higher standard and discriminates against them through a "personal rating."

"公平招生"組織的學生表示，哈佛大學對亞裔入學申請者有更高的要求標準，並通過"個人評級"對他們進行歧視。

Harvard counters that race is one of many factors it considers and can only help an applicant's chances of getting in.

哈佛則反駁說，種族是其考慮的衆多因素之一，只能幫助申請人獲得成功的機會。

The trial has lasted three weeks with both sides calling on academics, policy experts and current and former Harvard employees to bolster their cases.

這一案件的庭審已經持續了三個星期，雙方都請來學者、政策專家以及現任和前任哈佛大學的員工來支持他們的觀點。

聯邦法官將對此案做出裁決，但預計不會立即裁決。 無論結果如何，預計（不利的一方）都將繼續提出上訴。
