might see? here is what we know. inside the courtroom our producer is behind me and we have two boxes. we should be getting multiple opinions today. 6 or 7 left depending how you count them. some are coupled up together. now we wait. it is the last of the term. the end of the term. we think they may add tomorrow to be the final day. we have affirmative action in higher ed., can you use race in considering applicants? a huge battle waged for decades. you have the student loan debt relief program. did the biden administration go too far? do they have the power to wipe out billion else in loans without congress or another body being involved? a couple of religious liberty cases. the web designer out of colorado. does she have to make web designs for everyone? we have the postal worker when he joined the postal service they didn t have sunday delivery. he told them it is a day of sabbath and can t work it. now we re just let s see what we have. the first opinion. not one of t
look. let s bring in roger severino, former director of the office of civil rights in the trump administration. you have followed this case very closely, roger. i assume you are not surprised. what are the real world implications for universities now after this decision? this is fantastic news particularly for asian-americans. remember, they were the ones who were artificially kept low and being punished by harvard who gave low personality scores and less likely to be kind. all the subjective buzz words to say we have too many asians. that s what was going on. ashian americans are the big winners here. a man was instrumental in bringing this result. we ll see what harvard and unc does in response. i fear what they do is go under the table to hide continued discrimination on the basis of
