64% : The fight to reform American higher education clearly remains a work in progress.
47% : Moreover, Samuel Alito, one of the Court's most conservative justices, praised the Texas plan in a dissent in 2016's Fisher v. The University of Texas at Austin (which was another Supreme Court challenge to Affirmative Action).
43% : Hochul's announcement was met with skepticism from some advocates of colorblindness, who suspect the governor's Top 10 Percent Plan is a backdoor effort to continue the decades of Affirmative Action that penalized whites and Asian Americans in the Empire State.
41% : Ever since the Supreme Court struck down the use of affirmative action in college admissions last term, institutions of higher education have been hard at work devising ways to sidestep the ruling.
