"The high court announced in January it would hear both cases involving affirmative action at the nation's oldest private and public universities."
"Harvard, too, warned in its brief that if affirmative action in admissions is outlawed, representation of Black and Hispanic students would decline "significantly.""
"On the symbolic side, meanwhile, he said that if the Supreme Court finds race-conscious admissions policies are unlawful, what it's saying is "everything was fair and square until affirmative action arrived, and affirmative action, that is the thing that is somehow corrupting a process that's actually just rewarding the best and brightest.""That's the somewhat dominant, but highly contested narrative that speaks to this broader debate we're having in America right now," he said."
"Alongside the Harvard dispute, Students for Fair Admissions was mounting its second court fight targeting affirmative action at the University of North Carolina."
