The case challenges Harvard University’s and the University of North Carolina’s admissions policies that consider an applicant’s race among many factors to promote diversity.
Students for Fair Admissions, a non-profit group, sued both universities alleging they discriminate against Asian American applicants through policies that consider applicants’ race. They argue these policies violate civil rights law and the Constitution.
The universities say their policies comply with Supreme Court precedents and are needed to achieve a diverse student body. They say they consider race as one of many factors and do not set quotas or racially balance the student population.
The case could impact university policies across the country and remake decades of legal precedent. The 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court indicates it may be willing to place tighter limits on race-conscious admissions policies, or ban them outright.
A ruling is expected by late June 2023. This could reshape how colleges admissions work and affect efforts to establish racially diverse student populations. Many organizations have filed legal briefs for and against upholding affirmative action in university admissions.
