Actually, it is not open to interpretation. They cannot discriminate.

Here is the basis of the law.

And wrt to minorities underrepresented.

In the Ivies case, it clearly over selects.

UC Davis is a public school. So is the University of Michigan. You mentioned Title IX before, so maybe you should read it:

"in regard to admissions to educational institutions, this section shall apply only to institutions of vocational education, professional education, and graduate higher education, and to public institutions of undergraduate higher education;"

Hmmm... public undergrad programs are covered, private undergrad programs are excluded.

You also mentioned the CRA of 1964. The part of that law that applies specifically to colleges is "TITLE III--DESEGREGATION OF PUBLIC FACILITIES"... notice a key word there?

So again, the question remains, what law/s are the Ivies violating?
