2 Harvard Students Weigh In On Whether University Discriminates Against Asian-Americans

On Monday, the trial begins in the Harvard admissions discrimination case.

Students For Fair Admissions is suing Harvard, charging that the admissions process discriminates against Asian-American applicants. Harvard insists they have the legal right to assemble a diverse class and that race is just one of a number of factors they consider when making admissions decisions.

Two minority Harvard students give us a sense of how this lawsuit is affecting life on campus and where students stand on the issues at play.
