(The Center Square) - A law firm specializing in government policies is taking up the case against The University of Washington on behalf of an Asian man who was denied admission, despite graduating high school with a 4.42 GPA, a 1590 SAT score, and a direct job offer from Google as a software engineer at the age of 18.
