Supreme Court allows Michigan ban on race in admissions
The court upholds a voter approved Michigan constitutional change barring race as a factor in public college admissions. The 6 2 decision reinforces similar bans in California and Washington and sparks debate over whether elections or courts should decide race based policy. Justice Kennedy notes the ruling does not overturn prior cases permitting race consideration. Dissenters Sotomayor and Ginsburg warn the decision harms minority rights while Thomas and Sotomayor highlight their personal history with affirmative action.
