Affirmative Action

“Conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices signaled skepticism on Monday toward the legality of race-conscious admissions policies in cases involving Harvard University and the University of North Carolina that could imperil affirmative action programs often used to boost enrollment of Black and Hispanic students.” (Reuters)

The right urges the Court to rule against affirmative action, arguing that race should play no role in college admissions.

The left urges the Court to allow affirmative action to continue, arguing that it is necessary to level the playing field.
