The U.S. Supreme Court Overturns Race-Based College Admissions

The U.S. Supreme Court abolished student admissions based on race

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that universities can no longer consider race as a factor in their student admission policies

This historic ruling changes decades-old American policies regarding compensatory measures for past injustices against minorities, especially African Americans

This is one of the most controversial issues in the American education system. This policy first emerged in the 1960s and was supported as an effort to increase diversity

The Supreme Court has found that this practice, which dates back over 40 years, violates the Constitution

Opponents of this policy say that the admission policies at Harvard and the University of North Carolina are discriminatory against white and Asian American applicants. These policies were designed to increase the number of Black, Latino, and Native American students, but colleges say race is just one of many factors

This is the latest ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court, which is dominated by conservatives
