The conservative-dominated Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear a challenge to the consideration of race in college admissions, adding affirmative action to major cases on abortion, guns, religion and COVID-19 already on the agenda.

The court said Monday it'll take up lawsuits claiming Harvard, a private institution, and the University of North Carolina, a state school, discriminate against Asian American applicants. A decision against the schools could mean the end of affirmative action in admissions.

In the lawsuit SFFA asked the high court to overturn its ruling in a landmark affirmative action case that has shaped college admissions policies for nearly two decades.

A judge’s opinion makes the case for the continued salience of race.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- A federal judge has ruled that North Carolina's flagship public university can continue to consider race as a factor in its undergraduate admissions, rebuffing a conservative group's argument that affirmative action disadvantages white and Asian students.

The judge said that even 70 years after the colleges first Black students were admitted, they still experience isolation and stereotypes.
