Appeals court rejects suit seeking to end ban on affirmative action | Inside Higher Ed
Recently, there have been a number of court cases regarding affirmative action and higher education. The article linked above discusses a suit that was recently rejected in the federal appeals court in California which desired to lift the state's "ban on the consideration of race or ethnicity in the admissions decisions of public colleges and universities." A similar case is before the U. S. Supreme Court regarding the University of Texas. The article also discusses a court case taking place last year which decided that Michigan could not ignore race in the admissions process of colleges and universities; however the decision was vacated and the case will be reheard.
What are others thoughts about the current state of affirmative action? Is useful, or if not, what could be used as an alternative?
