U.S. Supreme Court Votes to End University Admissions Based on Race

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : The Supreme Court decided Thursday to set new limits on affirmative action, striking down the current race-conscious admissions policies in place at University of North Carolina and Harvard University.
56% : Institutions that use affirmative action policies take an individual student's race or ethnicity into account during the college admissions selection process.
56% : The Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling in 1978 in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, which cemented the place of affirmative action policies in college and university admissions.
45% : After over 40 years of 'positive discrimination' against White and Asian applicants to American universities, the US Supreme Court ruled today against the controversial race-based policies "affirmative action", in a 6-3 ruling based on two cases brought by Students For Fair Admissions, challenging the admissions systems used by Harvard and the University of North Carolina.
