Supreme Court ruling ends affirmative action in college admissions: Live updates
The Supreme Court on Thursday restricted consideration of race in college admissions, effectively overturning decades of court precedent. A plaintiff had challenged race-conscious programs at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The vote broke along ideological grounds, with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. writing for the conservative members in the majority, and the liberals dissenting. Roberts said remaining opinions for the court’s term will be released Friday.
