Supreme Court Rules Against Affirmative Action

In breaking news, the Supreme Court ruled today to abolish affirmative action in university admission programs.

Today’s decision is over two cases brought by the group Students for Fair Admissions, a group overseen by legal strategist Robert Blum, who has brought lawsuits seeking to end affirmative action. Students for Fair Admissions brought the two cases before the Supreme Court last fall against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina, alleging they discriminated against white and Asian-American students. Lower courts rejected the challenges.

With this new development, race will no longer be a consideration in determining who gets accepted into colleges and universities.

Justice Clarence Thomas, commented on today’s ruling.

Former President Trump and Obama also shared their reactions to today’s ruling.

Not surprisingly, there are those already arguing that this will lead to less diversity on campus. Others believe this is a fair and unbiased move towards a more just admissions process.

Regardless of differing opinions, it is certain that this decision will impact the future of higher education in the United States.
