FAQ's
The Court heard two cases, Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, and Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina. The plaintiffs in these cases asked the Court to declare race-conscious admissions unconstitutional in college and university admissions, that is, admissions policies and practices that consider race as one factor among many elements contributing to an admissions decision.
The Supreme Court struck down colleges鈥� and universities' use of race-conscious admissions nationwide, meaning colleges and universities can no longer take race into consideration as a factor in admissions decisions.
