  • Schools have scrambled to react to the Supreme Court's 2023 decision ending the use of affirmative action at Harvard and the University of North Carolina.

The Supreme Court is set to review a case that could significantly impact diversity in school admissions, focusing on whether race can be considered in the admissions process. This case stems from a lawsuit against a university's affirmative action policy, arguing that it discriminates against non-minority applicants. The article discusses the historical context of affirmative action, previous Supreme Court rulings like the 2003 Grutter v. Bollinger decision which allowed race to be considered as one factor among many, and the potential implications of a ruling against race-conscious admissions. Critics argue that such policies are necessary to address systemic inequalities and promote diversity, while opponents believe they are inherently unfair and advocate for race-neutral admissions. The outcome of this case could reshape educational opportunities and diversity efforts in higher education across the United States.
