An attorney for Harvard University insisted the Ivy League institution did not discriminate against Asian American applicants during oral arguments at the Supreme Court on Monday even as he acknowledged that the institution gave those applicants a lower personality score.

Bollinger, which allows colleges to use race on a limited basis when considering applications.
