Supreme Court Set to Rule on Affirmative Action in College Admissions

  • The Supreme Court will decide if colleges can consider race in admissions which could end affirmative action.
  • If affirmative action ends, colleges may use race-neutral policies like focusing less on test scores or admitting more from underfunded high schools to promote diversity.
  • There may be lawsuits claiming race-neutral policies meant to increase diversity are racist.
  • A previous case shows race-neutral policies can reduce Asian American admissions.
  • The court has supported affirmative action for diversity but is split on what the law allows.
