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.

Employees have been successfully suing employers for racial promotions for decades. Affirmative action did not alleviate employers from damages awarded to employees who could prove equal opportunity was not afforded for promotions.

Universities, however, were granted more latitude because the perception was to quota for the purpose of righting past wrongs, the broad nature of what goes into admissions (not only merit), and the sheer volume of applicants and admitted freshman.

This is a big win for the Asian communities.
