Supreme Court case could end affirmative action policies once and for all

[Anonymous]

The Supreme Court on Monday said it will hear a challenge to affirmative action policies in a case that will consider wither the admissions process at certain universities discriminates against students of Asian descent.



The court agreed to hear two companion lawsuits brought by Students for Fair Admissions, a nonprofit group that believes policies that use race as a factor in college admissions unconstitutionally discriminate against certain students in favor of others.



The group claims that Harvard's undergraduate admissions process discriminates against Asian-Americans and that UNC's discriminates against both Asian-Americans and white students. The lawsuits were brought against both a private and a public university to challenge the affirmative action policies at both kinds of institution. Lower courts have rejected these challenges, ruling that Supreme Court precedent upholds the right of colleges and universities to consider race in admissions decisions as a way to promote diversity.



The court has said racial quotas for admissions are illegal. But in a 2003 ruling supporting the University of Michigan's affirmative action policies, the court ruled schools may use race as a "plus factor" among an applicant's other qualities to ensure that the student body is diverse. Most recently, the court in 2016 voted 4-3 against a white woman who had sued the University of Texas' admissions policy. Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the majority opinion in that case, citing court precedent to uphold the university's admissions policy.



Students for Fair Admissions is asking the court to overturn the 2003 ruling, arguing that Title VI of U.S. code prohibits federal funding recipients from using race in admissions.



The court is widely expected to hear the case sometime next fall, with a decision potentially coming after the 2022 midterm elections.

There isn't much that unites the Asian-American community. But, affirmative action admissions at universities puts late forties conservatives like myself on the same side as eighteen year old Sanders supporters.



Penalizing Asian=Americans for academic success is un-American. Discriminating against Asian-Americans is unconstitutional. I am hopeful the nation's top court will agree.

It doesn't matter anymore... the US Supreme Court is corrupted.

This is not the same Supreme Court that last ruled on affirmative action nineteen years ago. I am cautiously optimistic they will make the right decision.

I've watched the cowardice of new members... they're shit scared about rendering a constitutional ruling.

Legalized racial discrimination has never had a better chance of being stopped dead in it's tracks. They are going to hear it, and that is good.

Unfortunately, I hail from that hot mess.

Canadian universities don't ahave this blatant discrimination against East Asians..



I know I would be speaking with my MP if my daughter was denied admission to the U of C because she's half Asian.

They don't discriminate based on race, so it's irrelevant.

You wouldn't.. I wouldn't.   But heaps wouldn't leave race well enough alone....



Just saying...

[Bricktop]

Once again, we need to bear in the forefront of our minds that this is an American issue.



Nothing to do with us.

Many Canadians follow US affairs closely. It's their prerogative to do so

[Bricktop]

Of course it is. But "many" Canadians need to be able to differentiate between the internal affairs of another foreign nation and their own.



Reading some of the submissions here from "many" Canadians, I sometimes doubt that they see a distinction.

[cc]

I could reply to that, but as seoul is the most prolific "here" on it, I'll invite him reply to that

[Bricktop]

No need. I don't seek contention. I just like to remind people from countries other than America that the insanity in that nation does not have to be relevant to theirs.



Many people like to monitor events in the US, as it is fascinating watching a country die in slow motion, by its own hand. I get that.



Too often in our respective histories we have emulated America...its culture, mannerisms and socio-political conduct. We need to distance ourselves from what is currently a toxic nation.
