Supreme Court Strikes Down Affirmative Action Policies in University Admissions - The Tablet

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : The U.S. Supreme Court June 29 struck down affirmative action policies used in admissions by Harvard University and the University of North Carolina to ensure student diversity.
47% : Roberts said the use of affirmative action policies in university admissions has led many colleges and universities to wrongly conclude "that the touchstone of an individual's identity is not challenges bested, skills built, or lessons learned but the color of their skin."
47% :A month before the court's decision, Vincent Rougeau, president of the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, wrote in an opinion piece in the Boston Globe that Justice Thomas, "once the beneficiary of the most overt example of race-based admissions I can imagine, will probably be among the Supreme Court's majority" when it is expected to strike down the use of affirmative action in college admissions.
