Affirmative Action in College Admissions
Has Been Struck Down
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard and UNC that race-based admissions programs are unconstitutional — ending over 40 years of court-sanctioned racial preferences in higher education. Every university in America was forced to overhaul admissions overnight, dismantling one of the central structural pillars of DEI ideology in academia.
6–3Supreme Court Ruling
40+Years of Racial Preferences Ended
1,000+Universities Forced to Comply
Eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it. Accepting some increases in diversity does not save a program that racially classifies students and applicants. The Harvard and UNC programs cannot be reconciled with the guarantees of the Equal Protection Clause.
