bringing an end to affirmative action in higher education in a decision that will reverberate across campuses nationwide.


Why just in higher education? If affirmative action is Unconstitutional, isn't it unconstitutional in all things?

Correct. The opinion covers all. Higher ed is getting a lot of attention, but this case serves as precedence if say, someone is passed over for a job and there is proof that the reason is race-based.

Maybe with this decision more cases will be brought challenging AA in other areas.

Yes. Would be curious to hear our resident legal scholars opinions about whether this ruling becomes precedent for corporate hiring policies?

I'm thinking this may spring a lot of cases regarding Affirmative Action and it's unfair effects on the better suited candidates.

Something has to be the first domino.

I can only imagine other cases using this as a precedent.
