42% : The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down affirmative action in college admissions, declaring race cannot be a factor and forcing institutions of higher education to look for new ways to achieve diverse student bodies.
38% : Before the ruling, eight states already banned affirmative action in the pursuit of race-neutral practices, but advocates say the universities in those states have failed to recover the diversity numbers they had before the ban took place.
