The Supreme Court takes on affirmative action (again)
The U.S. Supreme Court recently agreed to hear two cases about affirmative action in college and university admissions. The litigation began in 2014 when the nonprofit Students for Fair Admissions sued the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Harvard University for unfairly discriminating against White and Asian students in their admissions processes, giving preference to Black and Hispanic students instead. Both UNC-Chapel Hill, which is the oldest public university in the United States, and Harvard, which is the oldest private university, prevailed in the lower courts.
