US Supreme Court Rules Against Affirmative Action In College Admissions
The decision on the UNC case was 6-3, with the court’s six conservative justices all voting to end affirmative action in college admissions and the three liberal justices voting to keep the policy. The decision for the Harvard case was 6-2 as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recused herself due to her previous ties to Harvard.
The majority ruling issued by the court claims race could still factor into admissions decisions in other ways, such as being incorporated into students’ admissions essays.
“Nothing prohibits universities from considering an applicant’s discussion of how race affected the applicant’s life, so long as that discussion is concretely tied to a quality of character or unique ability that the particular applicant can contribute to the university,” the ruling states.
Nevertheless, the liberal justices noted in their dissents that the impact of this decision would be felt deeply by racial minorities.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor says that in issuing this ruling, “the Court subverts the constitutional guarantee of equal protection by further entrenching racial inequality in education, the very foundation of our democratic government and pluralistic society.”
Justice Brown Jackson, meanwhile, was even harsher toward her conservative colleagues: “With let-them-eat-cake obliviousness, today, the majority pulls the ripcord and announces ‘colorblindness for all’ by legal fiat,” Brown Jackson wrote in her dissent. “But deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life.”
