TL;DR

Justice Alito expressed anger over a school admissions policy similar to one championed by George W. Bush, which aimed to diversify Texas universities without considering race. The Supreme Court declined to hear a case involving a Virginia magnet school's admissions process, which was designed to increase racial diversity without explicitly considering race. The decision suggests that the Court may still tolerate some attempts to diversify schools using methods previously approved by Republicans, but it does not guarantee the future of such programs. If the Court were to rule against these programs, it could have significant implications for diversity on campuses and would reflect the Republican Party's shift on race issues.
