SCOTUS Strikes Down Affirmative Action In Landmark Decision
As of June 29, 2023, the use of racial preferences by colleges and universities as a component of their admissions process, known as Affirmative Action, is prohibited. The landmark decision, released by the Supreme Court (SCOTUS), was published in a 228-page opinion that resolves two companion cases, both brought by “Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA),” a nonprofit organization, regarding the constitutionality of Affirmative Action.
