The Supreme Court's Impact on Affirmative Action and College Admissions

The Supreme Court's recent ruling declaring affirmative action admissions policies used by Harvard College and the University of North Carolina unconstitutional has sparked dueling rallies between supporters and opponents of affirmative action. While anti-affirmative action groups celebrated the decision as a step towards a race-neutral society, supporters expressed concern about the potential decrease in diversity in higher education. University administrators are now faced with the challenge of complying with the ruling while still pursuing the educational benefits of diversity. The ruling is expected to have widespread impacts on colleges and universities across the United States.
