The policy has made diversity possible. Now, after decades of debate, the Supreme Court is poised to decide its fate.
The Court may signal that it considers efforts aimed explicitly at racial equity to be unconstitutional.
1. the history
In June, 2016, Justice Samuel Alito took the unusual step of reading aloud from the bench a version of his lengthy dissent in the case of Fisher v. University of Texas. A white applicant who had been denied admission had sued, saying that she’d been discriminated against because of her race. The Supreme Court, by the narrowest of margins and on the narrowest of grounds, upheld Texas’s admissions policy. Alito, with steely indignation, picked apart the logic of U.T.’s arguments and of his colleagues’ majority opinion. “This is affirmative action gone berserk,” he declared.

Los Alamos, N.M., July 21, 2021 A team of scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory propose that modulated quantum metasurfaces can control all properties of photonic qubits, a breakthrough that could impact the fields of quantum information, communications, sensing and imaging, as well as energy and momentum harvesting. The results of their study were released yesterday in the journal
Physical Review Letters, published by the American Physical Society. People have studied classical metasurfaces for a long time, says Diego Dalvit, who works in the Condensed Matter and Complex Systems group at the Laboratory s Theoretical Division. But we came up with this new idea, which was to modulate in time and space the optical properties of a quantum metasurface tha
