marvinh/Getty Images (WASHINGTON) -- Harvard University's practice of legacy admissions is being probed by the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, a spokesperson for the agency told ABC News. The investigation comes a month following the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision on Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v. Harvard that struck down race-based affirmative action for colleges and universities. Lawyers for Civil Rights filed the complaint against Harvard earlier this month contending that preferential treatment is given to children of wealthy donors and alumni.
