If confirmed as a justice on the Supreme Court, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson"should recuse herself" from a case over alleged discrimination practices in Harvard University's admissions, according to legal scholar Jonathan Turley.
"Since the board plays 'an integral role in the governance of the university,' the questions involved in the case before the court would appear to fall within the board’s broad discretion," Turley said, adding that"Jackson not only has an institutional interest as a Harvard board member but likely has personal knowledge of admissions standards or policies from her service on this board.
Court has *consolidated* Harvard and UNC cases for briefing and oral argument. If UNC case were separate, KBJ wouldn't have to recuse from it. But since Court has consolidated the two cases, recusal from Harvard case would seem to compel recusal from UNC case. https://t.co/aRYc4mUF8Q
