Supreme Court affirmative action ruling bars colleges from considering race in admissions decisions

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that race-conscious decision-making on admissions at Harvard and the University of North Carolina were unconstitutional, departing from a nearly half-century of guidance on affirmative action and erecting new hurdles for underrepresented students of color and efforts by schools to ensure diversity in their classrooms.
36% : In California, which banned affirmative action plans in 1998, Black and Latino student enrollment at UC Berkeley, one of the state's most selective schools, dropped 50% immediately following the state's ban, according to the Post review.
