Supreme Court rejects affirmative action in ruling on universities using race in admissions decisions

 

The U.S. Supreme Court handed down a major ruling on affirmative action Tuesday, rejecting the use of race as a factor in college admissions as a violation of the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause.

 

Many universities have argued that race-based admissions ensures that student bodies remain diverse, while critics such as the plaintiffs in the cases argue the policy discriminates against many qualified students based on race. 

 

Students for Fair Admissions, a student activist group, brought cases against both Harvard and University of North Carolina. The group initially sued Harvard College in 2014 for violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which "prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in any program or activity that receives Federal funds or other Federal financial assistance."

In a Pew Research Center poll released earlier this month, half (50%) of US adults say they disapprove of selective colleges and universities taking race and ethnicity into account in admissions decisions in order to increase the racial and ethnic diversity at the school. One-third (33%) approve, with the remaining 16% unsure. Support for colleges giving consideration to race and ethnicity is higher among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents (54% approve, 29% disapprove) and Black Americans (47% approve, 29% disapprove) than it is among White Americans (29% approve, 57% disapprove) or Republicans and Republican leaners (14% approve, 74% disapprove).

Roughly half (49%) of all US adults in the Pew poll say that the consideration of race and ethnicity makes the overall admissions process of these colleges less fair, with just 20% saying it makes the process more fair.

The beginning of the end for systemic racism is not how many people imagined it would go.

For once, Chief Justice Roberts grew a pair and called out the dissenting opinions for ignoring those parts of the law with which they did not like, in order to justify their opinions.

 

Or, in layman’s terms, their oath to follow the law was made dishonestly.

 

This is the first time I can recall such an admonition written into a SCOTUS ruling.

Glad to see equal protection under the law affirmed.

That is interesting, but unfortunately I doubt any of the three were listening.

NPR had an hour on it as you would expect plus the hourly news etc.

 

To say they are upset that their Racist behaviour  has been stopped would be an understatement of the age.

 

They did have a guy in at the end who pointed out that this is actually a money thing, there is no significant different economically, well probably Asians aside, what the real risk is if they wanted to be truly diverse they would have to admit people who do not have the big bucks. Now that cannot be accepted.

Harvard To Get Around Affirmative Action Ban By Asking You Whether You Prefer BBQ, Ranch, Or Soy Sauce

 

CAMBRIDGE, MA — Admissions faculty at Harvard was devastated today upon hearing the news that they could no longer use racial discrimination to turn their school into a diverse rainbow of beautiful mediocrity.  Their spirits were raised, however, once they realized they could accomplish the same thing by asking prospective students whether they prefer barbecue, ranch dressing, or soy sauce.  [...]
