Dozens of conservative lawmakers joined together to file a brief for a Supreme Court case over Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s use of race in admissions decisions, saying, “These universities are flagrantly violating our Civil Rights laws.”

Led by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. Michelle Steel (R-CA), 82 Republican lawmakers also signed on to the joint amicus brief in the case brought by the conservative nonprofit group Students for Fair Admissions, claiming both institutions engaged in racial discrimination against Asians, according to a press readout sent to the Washington Examiner.
