Supreme Court to hear affirmative action cases this term
The court will decide if race may be used in Harvard and UNC admissions, reviving a decades long debate. Plaintiffs from Students for Fair Admissions accuse Harvard of racial discrimination to favor Black and Hispanic students while UNC faces alleged equal protection violations. Harvard defends considering race among factors and cites precedent. The cases follow a history of affirmative action rulings from 1978 to today, with the court now more conservative after Justices Kennedy, Barrett, and Kavanaugh.
